Anti-gay senator arrested for DUI outside gay club

Confirming the jokes of a million people across the Internet, well-known anti-gay legislator and California state senator Roy Ashburn, a Republican, was arrested for driving. The juicy part? He was allegedly exiting a gay nightclub. Probably just giving them a stern talking to! Or handies! Maybe both!

Sources tell CBS13 a state senator from Southern California was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and L Streets.

Ashburn, a father of four, is a Republican Senator representing parts of Kern, Tulare and San Bernardino Counties with a history of opposing gay rights

When the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, the driver identified himself as Senator Ashburn. He was arrested without incident and charged with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level higher than .08% or higher.

A male passenger, who was not identified as a lawmaker, was also in the car but was not detained.

And his “Oopsidoodle” statement in response to the allegations:

“I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment. I accept complete responsibility for my conduct and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did. I am also truly sorry for the impact this incident will have on those who support and trust me – my family, my constituents, my friends, and my colleagues in the Senate.”

Well, that’s a career breaker. It’s always fun to see one of these people revealed for the hypocrites we always think they are, but still, that can’t be fun for his family. Could you imagine being his poor wife? She’ll have to endure the disgusted stares of the masses for the rest of her life. And now she’ll never know if the reason his chest reeked of bleach was due to her overusage of Clorox on the laundry or if it was because Ramon from Faces was very generous with his love.
