1. She has a medical condition that may have bearing on her ability to operate a motor vehicle, yet she "chose not to disclose" until it was politically necessary. 2. She supports a bill requiring hands-free headset use of a cell phone while driving, but does not practice this same practice herself. 3. She believes the state (i.e., taxpayers) are responsible for the damages because she was in the process of conducting state business. Who in their right f**king mind thinks like this? A representative of the people? Good lord!

I read about this in the paper and I'm just wondering why she's not behind bars right now, like your average tax payer would be. In the Appeal Democrat, they're saying that she may have been affected by her lukemia medication. Sounds like another lie from a rich white person. If her medication was subject to make her tired or have altered perception, wouldn't there be a condition of not operating machinery of any kind while under the influence? Such as with opiates, alcohol, marijuana, and surely many other drugs. So enough of this. She's going to get an investigation and probably a slap on the hand. People will forgive and forget. I doubt she'll serve time, just pay a fine. Because of her wealth, the fine won't be cutting into her rent money and putting her ass in the soup kitchen, so she'll continue her way on easy street. hell, I doubt the chp even bothered to search her property, accuse, or abuse her anyway. Now let's see the same situation with a taxpayer in the drivers seat.

Newspapers really are becoming irrelevant. The coverage of Carole Migden's political suicide is clearly better on the local blogs. SFist and Sam Spade's San Francisco win the prize for the best coverage. Good work!

I've been late more than once, and I've NEVER done what this bat-shit crazy bitch (allegedly) did on the freeway. Cutting people off, hitting guard rails ("Gee, I thought I brushed up against something."), and rear ending Hondas carrying taxpayers is the kind of crap someone who is intoxicated (yeah, I know, she's intoxicated with power), suffering from a serious mental health issue or who otherwise has an exaggerated and totally unrealistic perception of their importance pulls. "Screw you! Get out of my way! I'm a SENATOR!" Seriously, can we not elect this broad to another term of anything and make her get a real job?

With hair like that, she should have been riding an invisible motorcycle.
