SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―

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.

1. Gee, what a shock, another phobe

trying to hide what was in himself by parading around his family values, wrapped in a flag and hiding behind a cross.

When are people going to learn people like that are always hiding something?

Sad to say, this jerk will never come to terms with who he really is. I am deeply sorry for his wife and kids. His poor wife has probably spent her whole marriage wondering what's wrong with her and not him.

Yeah, I know, he's not gay, he just likes blow jobs from men.

4. He considered running for Congress again, but backed out a couple of months ago

He already earned the ire of conservatives by voting for tax increases and getting rewarded with a committee chairmanship, but this completely destroys any future plans he had. Hypocrisy is highly damaging and I know the GOP is glad he's termed out.

6. This motherfucker should resign immediately

Not because he's a closet case, but because he's driving drunk in a state owned vehicle. Probably sides with all the right wing "Libruls spendin your goddamn tax money" as much as he does the homophobic shit. Though I'm sure he voted for Prop H8 too. Or at least told all his friends he did.

7. Apparently he was arrested the day gay marriage became legal in DC..

...wow, proof that gay marriage will destroy the family and straight marriages, pretty obvious cause and effect.
