California Doles Out $335K Settlement for Carole Migden's Bad Driving

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.
