“State senator rear-ends Vallejo woman while talking on cell phone” that headline writer needs another line of work. There are so many salacious interpretations of what be about to be reported, especially coming from Cali-A-Fornicatatia.

Migden last year voted for a new law that takes effect in July 2008 that will impose a minimum fine of $20 for anyone caught using a cell phone while driving without a headset, ear bud or other technology that frees both hands.

Hypocrisy running wild...Until July, 2008 talk away....

This is interesting.

Just yesterday I heard on the radio that Migden claimed to have become “disoriented” while driving, and then crashed into the stopped vehicle in front of her.

What’s up with that?!

A woman driving an SUV talking on a cell phone? I can’t believe it!

Seriously, the state gives them new cars?

(Disclaimer: I'm probably wrong as to which Senator)

Isn't this the moronic state senator who proposed legislation recently outlawing spanking? And then she spanks the car in front of her?

The voice on the other end of her phone conversation must have said the dreaded word... Bush.
