The state will pay $335,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a woman former state Sen. Carole Migden rear-ended after a wild 30-mile drive in Solano County, attorneys in the case said Monday.
Several motorists called 911 after seeing the San Francisco Democrat weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 80 and Highway 12 on May 18, 2007, in her state-issued Toyota Highlander hybrid sport utility vehicle. At one point, Migden sideswiped a guardrail on I-80 near American Canyon Road.
"She's been on the phone and reading a book, doing about 80 miles per hour," one driver said in his 911 call. "She's really scary."

And when she retires she’ll pull in $136,000 per year too.
How is her driving under the influence, while talking on the phone, and reading a book fall within her duties as a state senator?
No wonder California is going broke. Defending these scofflaw Democrats at state expense.
The ONLY way Kalifornicate will rid ourselves of these power crazed, lunatic, corrupt, perverted politicians is by using the same technique developed by the French....
Build guillotines on the square in front of the State Capitol Building and lead every damned one of them up the steps..
Where the hell are the lawyers with honor - to go after these bastards?
“You can’t talk to me like that, I’m a state senator,” Carol Migden to the California Highway Patrol Officer who was investigating the accident scene.
I thought these sanctimonious liberal Pols would drive a Prius? Taxpayer issued SUV's no less! Leeches!
I’d still be in jail, with a long time to go!
Hopefully those will be in californy IOU play money, which I guess her victim is getting
You’re not royalty. There’s a reason these people fight so hard and spend so much to get into public office. Frankly, if you want the job, you should be disqualified from having it.
Aw, C'mon folks have a heart. Don't you know liberalism means you're not responsible for anything. She's a victim. Weaving, swerving, 80 MPH Migden is just a victim.
She’s liberal, she’s a Democrat, and she’s a lesbian. So all is forgiven.
And being an important state official is the trump card for her membership in the other grievance groups.
1. UberLezbo from SF Bay-area’s most whacko location
2. HATES cops, dislikes soldiers, all wars are wrong
3. Voted scariest boss to work for by some Sacramento weekly publication
I’m allllways hearing crazy stuff about her and what a bit*h she is.
She also was impolite to the woman she crashed into (and injured).
LOL. You are joking, right?
And Arnold appointed her to her new job and guaranteed her a six figure retirement.
JUST impolite? She must have been having her annual friendly day.
One would think that the odds would provide just a few on our side......wouldn't one?
As it stands, only the legalization of Dueling will bring about the change needed...
An armed and dueling society is a polite and law abiding society.
Are you kidding?
Lawyers.... Honor.... really?
I take it your not from our solar system; are you?
So tell me; what's heaven like?
