SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- State Sen. Carole Migden will be in Sacramento today answering questions about her involvement in a vehicle crash last week that left a mother and child injured.

Migden, D-San Francisco, said Wednesday that she does not remember much about Friday's crash in Fairfield.

She speculated that prescription medication she takes to fight leukemia may have played a role. Click here to find out more!

More than a half a dozen drivers called police to report that Migden's sport utility vehicle was traveling erratically near and in Fairfield at the time of the crash.

Migden was planning to meet with reporters in Sacramento on Thursday to answer more questions about the wreck.

Can't remember? That is what is known as a blackout from drinking too much.

I heard on the radio this morning she actually had three crashed on the same day and is blaming it on her medication.

Is that prescription in a smokable form?

Her first excuse was simply reaching for her cell phone; now this.

Elementary, my dear Watson!

If the leukemia medication impaired her ability to drive, was there a warning on the label? If so, why did she operate heavy machinery against the instructions? Does she disregard instructions on a regular basis and if so can she name other incidents where she feels that these warnings do not apply to her?

So why did she keep driving after the first crash?

Seems to me if you are not capable of driving and you do so anyway, then it is still your fault. My medicine bottles always have the warning about driving, if they may affect driving. Medication is not a valid excuse. Taking responsibility for your own actions is something that Democrats are not well known for.

She’s also openly lesbian. Which may not be an excuse but that status doesn’t hurt in S.F. in our politically correct world.

The question NO ONE has asked is, if she’s had leukemia for ten years, why is it that only NOW she has had this reaction to her medication? Is it new medication?

Senator Migden, were you watching hot lesbian sex action on your cell phone at the time of the crash?

Liberals seem to be immune to prosecution for this kind of thing, and the media will cover their backsides as much as possible. This brings to mind a name probably well known to my fellow Seattle area FREEPERS......Bobbie Bridge.

It was just a short time ago that she got this new taxpayer paid for car. She got some criticism for driving a gas guzzling Caddy which she wrecked too:
“The state has auctioned off Carole Migden’s Cadillac, the same one that had a brief encounter with a San Francisco bus . Once the bidding was done, the off-white 2005 Cadillac STS V6 sold for $23,000 at a Department of General Services auction on Wednesday.The San Francisco Chronicle reported the state originally paid just under $54,000 for the car.
“But here’s hoping the car came with an accident report. The car exactly fits the description of the vehicle Migden was driving when she had a minor accident with a bus in San Francisco last June.”

I predicted this in the original thread. I will remember the medication excuse the next time I get pulled over since it works so well. I wonder....does the med say on the bottle not to drive or operate heavy machinery...hmmmm or does it even exist?

(1) What medication are we talking about?

(2) Is the medication prescribed?

(3) Does the manufacture indicate that the medication impairs the ability to drive?

(4) Why wasn't blood drawn to ascertain these claims at the time?
