Yikes.

After Carole Migden was heard "berating" her Capitol staff yesterday, they were told to stay home today. Egads, right? According to Sacto Bee:

Enedina Hidalgo, the director of personnel for the state Senate, overheard Migden screaming, according to a witness to the event. The source said she entered the office while the senator was not present on Thursday, informing the staff of their rights.

Soon after, Hidalgo returned to Migden's office with Tony Beard Jr., the chief sergeant-at-arms of the state Senate. They told the staff to pack up their belongings and escorted them out of the building, the witness said.

Dude.

Carole, of course, denies that her staff was sent home. The infamously "brusque" Sen. declined further comment.

If you recall, Migden lost a three-way Democratic race to Mark Leno earlier this year. Was that the cause of her alleged hysteria? We're dying to know what she was screaming about this time. Oh, that Carole.
