Shouldn't she gracefully bow out now?

Is she a kleptomaniac? She definitely has issues.

Ahh ... the irony of it all. I want some political candidates who will charge themselves with eliminating the pages and pages of unnecessary, micro-blah-blah laws that we are all expected to follow - and ignorance of all gazillion laws is supposedly no excuse for violating them. Please, elected officials, we're not judging you by the volume of laws and what not you pass. In fact, I hope to see someone elected with a big machete to cut down on the bureaucracy .... I swear the more obscure laws are only there for folks to enforce on their enemies - not fair.

Leno is wondering which fortune cookie he opened recently that revealed all of this damn good luck. His chief opponent is walloped with serious elections fines, and tonight he delivered a campaign speech to a room full of northern California newspaper heavyweights for a Society of Professional Journalists awards banquet. He approached putting the half-drunk room to sleep, but SPJ did give him an award, so all in all, Leno's sleepin' sweet.)

Even my mother tells me bad stories about Carole Migden.

I saw her swoop a bunch of free chocolate candies into her purse at a recent holiday party, so this does not surprise me.

It's an interesting story about Carole Migden, but why the picture of Phil Spector?

The very sad thing is that she can legally pay her $350k fine with money from her campaign funds. (After she runs over someone and gets away with that too)

They should fine her another $350,000 for going out in public with that hair.

I still can't believe we let her go for DUI. You took drugs... don't you read the warnings on the prescription bottle?
