It's no good for a family values Republican to get picked up on a DUI. <span style='font-size: 17pt'>But substantially worse to get picked up for a DUI after leaving a gay nightclub with an unidentified man in a state vehicle.</span>
That's the sorry state that befell California state Senator Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) early Wednesday.
[[SLIDESHOW: Greatest GOP Sex Scandals]]
In better days Ashburn, a fierce opponent of gay rights, was fighting marriage equality and organizing anti-gay marriage rallies as part of his "Traditional Family Values" campaign.
But he hit a bump in the road -- figuratively, not literally -- Wednesday at around 2 AM when CHP officers observed him weaving and driving erratically in downtown Sacramento. After a field sobriety test, officers determined that Ashburn, who reeked of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes, was under the influence of alcohol and placed him under arrest. He was released from jail just before 4 AM.
Initial reports only noted the DUI arrest and Ashburn issued a contrite apology on Wednesday. But late this evening, the CBS affiliate in Sacramento reported that "sources" confirmed that Ashburn had left Faces, a gay nightclub in downtown Sacramento, just prior to his arrest.
The state issued black Chevrolet Tahoe Ashburn was driving has been impounded at the state Capitol.

Luckily, Joe My God noticed that NH State representative Nancy Elliot (R-Hillsborough) was recorded talking about the hot topic, and the video made it to YouTube. The headline on Joe My God is 'NH Rep. Nancy Elliot Doesn't Do Anal,' <span style="color: #CC0000"> LOL ...she obviously hasn't seen 'Debbie does Dallas'...... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif </span>obviously a deduction from the Elliot quote <u>"We're talking about taking the penis of a man and putting it in the rectum of another man and wriggling it around in excrement. And you have to think, would I want that to be done to me?" </u> <span style="color: #990000"> LMAO......!</span>
She complains that because of the marriage bill, Nashua public schools are "showing presentations of anal sex... They are showing our fifth graders how they can actually perform this kind of sex... that is the context of the lesson, that 'This is something that you, as a fifth grader, you may want to try.'"
The Village Voice makes a great point in noting that at least recess will definitely be livened up! </div></div>
