Anti-gay senator Roy Ashburn arrested after leaving gay nightclub


Wednesday, March 3rd, California State Senator, Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) was pulled over in his state-issued black Chevy Tahoe. There was an unidentified man travelling with the senator.

Sources say the senator had just left the gay nightclub, Faces, when police noticed the car swerving dangerously and pulled him over.

He was arrested without incident and charged with two misdemenors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher. The unidentified man in the vehicle with Senator Ashburn was not detained.

Senator Ashburn was released from the Sacramento County Jail on a $1,400 bond.

Roy Ashburn, who is the divorced father of four daughters, ran on a family-values platform and had voted against a bill to recognise out-of-state same sex marraiges, hosted a Traditional Values Coalition rally in Bakersfield, and received a perfect score of 100% on the Capitol Resource Family Impact scorecard for never voting yes to any equality legislation, ever.

1. Oops, indeed. But no surprise.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

2. Here is the scoop: he was driving home from church when he has to pee real bad
He couldn't find a gas station so he stopped at the first place of business he saw, not knowing it was a gay bar. As he exited the bathroom, he was approached by an unidentified man who asked him for a ride to his mother's house.

Ashburn also claims that he uses a "wide stance" when sitting on the bathroom stall, and that he is entering rehab at a Christian retreat house.

4. I love that.
How long before the Republicans use all of that explanation?

Have Fox labelled him with a D yet?

3. Hmm, misappropriation of state funds?
Using a state-provided vehicle for non-state business? Unless the state senate had a meeting at "Faces" which I doubt. :rofl:

This is, of course, in addition to the DUI and the flagrant hypocrisy of this 'puke. Throw the book at him.
