Dep't of It Takes One to Hate One

TBA always gets a kick out of these:

California Sen. Roy Ashburn (R), "who has racked up a consistently anti-gay voting record over the years" was spotted by the openly-gay mayor of West Sacramento at gay clubs a number of times over the years, TPM reports.

Ashburn is the California lawmaker caught drunk driving earlier this week after reportedly leaving a gay night club.

Interestingly, the Bakersfield Californian asked Ashburn about rumors that he was gay last summer. His response: "Why would that be anyone's business? I think there are certain subjects that are simply not relevant and this is one of them. It has no bearing on the job I do."

Well, when your job involves voting to curtain your fellow gays' rights, on the apparent ground that gay = bad, then maybe you've made it relevant? Just a thought there, Roy.
