I'm not up with US politics but i thought this was Hilarious, the louder the shout the more guilty you are??
A US senator with a history of opposing gay rights has been arrested for driving drunk after reportedly leaving a gay nightclub in California.
Republican Senator Roy Ashburn was pulled over by the Californian Highway Patrol at 2am on Wednesday after officers observed a black Chevy Tahoe SUV swerving in Sacramento, CBS13.com reports.
Ashburn, a father of four, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level higher than 0.8 percent, the legal limit in the US.
Sources told CBS13 Senator Ashburn had been at Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento.
He was taken to Sacramento County Jail and released on A$1445 bail.
A male passenger in the car at the time of traffic stop was not arrested.
"I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgement," Senator Ashburn said in a statement.
"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."
Since taking office in the State Senate, Ashburn has voted against every gay rights law, including Recognising Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages and Expanding Anti-Discrimination Laws.
