This is just golden here:

Liberal democratic State Senator:

1. Drives an SUV (Sierra club must be going nuts). 2. Has her gas guzzler paid for by taxpayers. 3. Rams another vehicle due to reckless driving while talking on a cell phone. 4. Votes for a law to punish the above!

Can you say hypocrisy?

She was previously the Senate Appropriations Committee Chair, until she resigned her chair in November 2005. According to Migden, she resigned to assist State Controller Steve Westly in his bid to win the 2006 California Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Critics dispute this claim, suggesting Migden was forced to resign following a scandal over her September 2005 "ghost vote" incident. On August 31, 2005, she used the voting machine of Assemblyman Guy Houston (R-Livermore) to cast the deciding vote for her cosmetic safety bill, SB 484. In a later vote, Guy Houston voted against the bill. Casting a vote in the other house of the Legislature, using another member's machine, was in violation of the rules of the Assembly, and did not count.

Migden's sobriety was verified by officers using a hand-held breath-testing unit, even though there was nothing to indicate she had been drinking, Williford said. "It was just a precaution," he said.

BS.

I've had plenty of fender-benders.

I have never been drunk-tested as "a precaution" after one.

>>>State Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco, was driving her new state-issued 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV at 10:40 a.m.<<<

Senator Migden will be fine. Overwhelming evidence exists that SUV's often cause crashes on their own. Humans rarely have any say in the matter.

SUV and cell phone notwithstanding, anything you say about Migden is a hate crime, since she’s in a protected class.
