Oh snap, busted!

Carole Migden got served! She was slapped with a $350k fine by the Fair Political Practices Commission - California's watchdog group that produces lots of reports about what candidates do so that reporters have something to write about.

Let's pause a moment and consider that figure. Three hundred fifty thousand dollars.

That's a 3 or 4 bedroom home in a decent Sacramento community or a 500 square foot squat in San Francisco. Or it's a decent salary . . . for seven years.

Who screws up bad enough to end up with this sort of fine? Oh, right.

And the Chron must not like her - check out this photo that ran with at least the on-line story.

Between this and her freeway troubles, I'm thinking the Leno camp is doing cartwheels. Of course, it was their complaints that led to the investigation that ultimately uncovered more than they probably hoped for.
