Family Values

[xoxoxoBruce]

Another one bites the... uh, dust.

It's no good for a family values Republican to get picked up on a DUI. But substantially worse to get picked up for a DUI after leaving a gay nightclub with an unidentified man in a state vehicle. That's the sorry state that befell California state Senator Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) early Wednesday.

Initial reports only noted the DWI 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.

Remember, he's innocent until proven guilty, but it doesn't look good.
