Remember when former Senator Carole Migden went on a drunk driving spree on I-80, minus the alcohol? Well, the state of California will pay out $335,00 in settlement riches to a victim of her "erratic driving." If you recall, back in May 2007, "State Sen. Carole Migden bounced her state-issued SUV off the concrete median on Interstate 80 and nearly ran other motorists off the freeway before slamming into the back of another vehicle last week, the California Highway Patrol and witnesses said Tuesday." Paring this vehicular incident with her massive mound of blond hair, Migden has forever been cemented in our hearts as a crazy-ass, awesome dame.
Anyway, SF Weekly has word that "last month the state signed off on a $335,000 settlement with [Ellen] Butawan," a 31-year-old Vallejo lady who had the pleasure of being rear-ended by la Midgen.

As a Schwarzenegger appointee to the Waste Management Board, Migden also gets a $132,178 tribute. While some may question her being a GOP appointee or getting six figures for attending some meetings, who can really question the fact Carole Migden is an expect at managing waste?
surely you can see it in your heart to give her points for recycling phil spector's hairstyle.

What's a "la Midgen"? Is this some sort of Mexican pegging reference?
Yes, $132,178 a year for a board that has little known accountability ... I think we have something similar in San Francisco called San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Let's hope the voters in Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, Hunters Point, and Bayview (am I missing anyone) choose someone besides Ms. Migden IF she runs for District 10 Supervisor as rumored in 2010.
Why isn't Migden paying for this shit? Why should my tax money be paid for her fuck-ups?
Because her fuck-ups were incurred whilst serving you and me, Akit!
Good work if you can get it!
Duh. Because Migden's better than you. Don't believe me? Just ask her; she'll tell you.
Easy...because we'll all forget about this in a few days...and business will go back to usual. If we *really* cared, we'd all start calling Arnie's office every single fucking day demanding that the state seek indemnification from Midgen and that she be fired. Of course, we'll all be rubbing our vaginas and anuses over MJ's funeral instead.
$335K is a whole lot of whiplash. I bet the personal injury lawyers are collecting more than their usual contingency fees for that one.
