It’s that we don’t like hypocritical, lying, cheating politicians. Which really whittles down the field.

GOP State Senator Roy Ashburn gets DUI after leaving gay nightclub

State Senator Roy Ashburn (R-CA), a fierce opponent of gay rights in the Golden State, was pulled over for a DUI after leaving a Sacramento gay club in a state-issued car. Accompanying Ashburn in the car was an unidentified male passenger. State Senator Ashburn was placed into the custody of the Sacramento County Jail, where he was eventually released on $1400 bail.

Roy Ashburn is married, with four children. His district includes parts of San Bernadino, Kern, and Tulare counties. Before being elected to the California Senate Senate, Ashburn served six years as a state assemblyman.

State Senator Roy Ashburn released the following statement:

“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.”

Oh, and he had another man in the car at 2am. Why are they always sorry only after they get caught? Newsflash for soon-to-be-former State Senator Ashburn: too late.

    The first news story I saw didn’t mention anything about the gay nightclub.

    Maybe he just popped in for a for a hotdog?

    It’s more than hypocrisy. Public crusades against any personal “struggle”, never helps. It makes things worse. Ted Haggard’s ”ministry” against gays not only did not turn him straight as he erroneously thought it would, he became a depraved man. The apostle Paul talks about this principle in Romans 7 when he realized that focusing on his coveting and condemning others produced in him every kind of covetous desire. It’s so typical for so-called Christian leaders to not understand or believe the very scriptures they claim to have authority on… I’m just sayin’.
