At minimum, a reckless driving charge is in order.. also a civil suit for damages for those injured.
On the cell phone with her rug munching buddy? Got into an argument? Just askin’ ......
Yeah, right.
We don't even pay ours.
"We've taken that as far as we can take it," Williford said. "The issue of driving under the influence is a dead issue."
Well, that's damned convenient.
It certainly isn't dead with me!
If it were an "ordinary" subject, they would be in jail, and a blood test would have been mandatory.
Time to put the screws to the CHP officers involved and their superiors.
There is no excuse for that!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
As far as I know, that applies in California, too.
If the ordinary citizen would end up in jail under similar circumstances, this idiot should, too.
I note that they don’t mention the legisfelon’s party affiliation in the article. That’s a dead giveaway that Migden is a RAT. If she were a Republican, the headline would read “GOP state senator was driving erratically before accident, CHP says.”
Throw the book at her. She’s clearly a danger to society. And if she *wasn’t* driving drunk, what does that say about her driving skills?
She needs to be drug tested too.
Another liberal democrat HYPOCRITE.
I thought in accident situations like this DUI tests are required?
From another thread:
“State Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco, was driving her new state-issued 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV at 10:40 a.m. on eastbound Highway 12 at Beck Avenue when she rear-ended Ellen Butawan, 31, of Vallejo, California Highway Patrol Officer Marvin Williford said.”
Well, a wreck at 10:40 AM on a Friday is awful early to be drinking, but her actions certainly appear to be impaired. Wonder why the CHP just did BA and not a toxicology test on the State Senator? Maybe they were afraid of what they would find?
She was impaired and running late for a lunch appointment. Since she is one of the ruling pigs then no punishment is possible.
Perhaps it’s time for this woman to take a break from politics, let her stunt-double do her job for a while, and have a nice lie down in a clinic somewhere.
Ya think?

Witness says Migden cut him off
By John Hill - Bee Capitol Bureau

A witness to a collision last Friday involving state Sen. Carole Migden said he was cut off twice by the legislator’s Toyota SUV, once forcing him to veer onto the shoulder, before she rear-ended another car.
After the accident on Highway 12 in Solano County, Migden appeared confused, said Adrian Romo of Concord.
“She just looked lost...,” Romo said. “It looked like she was not all there.”
The California Highway Patrol, which is investigating the accident, said it got several calls in the 40 minutes or so leading up to the accident from drivers concerned about Migden’s driving.
After the accident, Migden passed a field sobriety test, which involves blowing into a medical device to screen for alcohol in the system, Officer Marvin Williford said.
The CHP expects to wrap up its investigation of the accident in the late this week or early next week.
I wonder how this State Representative voted on the hands-Free cell phone bill?
“She kept saying, ‘You can’t talk to me like that, I’m a state senator,’” he said.”
Sounds like a graduate from the John Kerry School of Obfuscation.
