**California Democratic Lawmaker Arrested for DUI: “I Thought It Was a Self-Driving Car!”**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the Golden State shaking its head, California Democratic lawmaker, Chuck “The Chuckster” McBooze, was arrested late last night for driving under the influence. Witnesses say McBooze was swerving down the Pacific Coast Highway, singing “California Love” at the top of his lungs while trying to convince his car to “just take the wheel.”
“I thought it was a self-driving car!” McBooze exclaimed as he was being handcuffed. “I mean, I’ve seen the commercials! I just wanted to see if it could handle a little ‘California Chardonnay’!”
According to police reports, McBooze was pulled over after officers noticed his vehicle was doing the Macarena at a stoplight. “I thought it was a dance party!” he insisted. “I was just trying to get the car in the groove!”
In a bizarre twist, McBooze claimed he was conducting “field research” for a new bill aimed at legalizing “party cars” that would allow vehicles to drive themselves while passengers enjoy a few drinks. “It’s all about innovation!” he declared, while attempting to balance a bottle of Merlot on his head.
His fellow lawmakers were quick to respond. Senator Linda “No More Wine” Grapes stated, “This is why we can’t have nice things! If we let Chuck drive, who knows what he’ll try next? A karaoke bus?”
As McBooze awaits his court date, he remains optimistic. “I’m just glad I didn’t hit any potholes! I mean, have you seen our roads? They’re like a game of ‘DUI or Not DUI?’”
In the meantime, the state has launched a new campaign: “Don’t Drink and Drive—Unless You’re in a Self-Driving Car!” Because if there’s one thing California knows, it’s how to turn a DUI into a marketing opportunity.
