This is way better than the old “I have a drinking problem” trick.

Sounds like that’s at least cause to revoke her driver’s license.

I’m sorry if she is sick, but if she is so sick that she is having blackouts, perhaps she should not still be in the Senate.

“I don’t have a recollection of what happened.”

Then the press release that her office made related to answering a cell phone was a lie?

Nevermide the 911 calls about the crazy lady reading and talking on a cell phone while driving ...

"I don't have a recollection of what happened. I can only conclude I had a medical event I can't explain. It's not an excuse; it may be an explanation."

If she is on a medication which causes blackouts, what the hell is she doing behind the wheel of a car? It's certainly not an excuse, and in no way gets her off the hook for the people she endangered or the people she actually hit.

Then it’s a DUI. Prosecute her.

Maybe she can stay out of rehab with this excuse.

Driving while impaired is still driving while impaired. Cry me a river otherwise.

This will sound ice cold of me, but I’ll say it.

She’s a California Democrat, so I KNOW she’s lying through her ass.

I hope she works out her medical problem. The state needs to pull her driving license. (Which may mean the state will hire her a driver???)

LOL! Her first excuse was the cel phone. Now it's the chemo drugs. Can't wait to hear the next one.

Settling back with the popcorn.

The "long-existing medical condition caused this" defense is always a long shot, but she blows it here:

Migden said her accident Friday left her shaken and that she had not experienced the same type of disorientation before.

Same medication for some number of years and this is the very first time that it made her disoriented? SO CLOSE to a Get Out Of Jail Free card, then she compounds the thousand-to-one shot with a thousand-to-one shot in the other direction.

That said, it's California, she's a Democratic senator, so I say she still slips away in a cloud of confusion, so to speak.

She chose not to make her medical condition public.

"I didn't want to be pitied. I didn't want to be seen as a goner.

She means, she din't want to see herself as a gonefromtheSenater.

Considering her duties and responsibilities, shouldn't medication that disorients & impairs her, especially (supposedly) without her knowledge of being impaired & disoriented, be a factor in whether or not to elect her?

Self-serving B*@#H.
