Dems Complain About DeLay's Smiling Mug Shot

(CNSNews.com) -- There it is, front and center on the Democratic National Committee's webpage: a full-color mug shot of Rep. Tom DeLay, not bad as mug shots go, with the caption, "DeLay Booked."
The Texas Republican is smiling, dressed in a suit and wearing his House pin. Unlike most mug shots, the photograph being circulated on the Internet does not include written information at the bottom, so it looks more like an ordinary snapshot than a mug shot.
That bothers many of the bloggers on the Democrat's "Kicking Ass" website.
Some complained that the official mug shot " doesn't look real -- no ID markings, no booking numbers, etc." Others wanted to see the profile shot.
"I want a copy of the warrent [sic] for the back of a t-shirt and his mug on the front," one Democrat wrote. Others indicated they'd like to wipe the smile off DeLay's face.
DeLay was fingerprinted and photographed at a Harris County, Tex., sheriff's office on Thursday, then released on $10,000 bond. He's scheduled to appear in an Austin courtroom on Friday to face charges of conspiracy and money laundering.
DeLay says he's the victim of a politically motivated prosecutor, Ronnie Earle, a Democrat who DeLay insists is out to get him.

If they do make t-shirts, I want one. I would be PROUD to wear De Lay's mug shot with the caption:
I support Tom De Lay. Arrest me too!
It would appear the Kitties are handling the 'rats just fine :^).
That's what happens when developmentally arrested post-adolescents mix it up with an adult.
I'm sure he just did not want to be mistaken for a Democrat....
Maybe even use it in a campaign flyer for the next election. LOL
What I find incredibly ironic about some Republicans is that they, more than anyone, are well aware of the dangers when you try to appease an opponent. Heck, they've been out front arguing this point since 9/11. Yet, here they are, still trying to embrace a "new tone" while their political enemies are willing to destroy their lives. And I'm not just talking about political lives, since these Democrats would like nothing better than to lock them up and throw away the key.
Democrats are targeting the Republican leadership for destruction...and what have Republicans been doing; taking the Kennedy's out for movies and popcorn; arguing leniency for a convicted Sandy Bergler and even helping in the rehabilitation of Bill Clinton. Republicans need to get their heads of their cans and realize that, just like the enemy abroad, these people don't want to be friends. If I don't start seeing some retribution for these attacks, I'm going to start wondering what was in those FBI files.
Jane sure did look good though.
If they can show pictures of teddie, the drunk, without a shirt and in cut-offs why not this much more pleasing picture?
Over heard at DNC headquarters...
"Thats not the dreary, woe is me, mug shot we wanted.
In fact, he looks like he was posing for a kids magazine argh!"
I think a lot of Republicans are RINOs and the others aren't interested in a scrap. They would rather attack conservatives than battle Democrats on the floors of Congress.
They are also totally intimidated by the leftist press in this country.
I think the Repubs in Congress should invent a NEW tax. A tax on advertisements in newspapers. Make the tax SO heavy that the newspapers loose advertising and the New York Slimes, the Washington Compost, the Gannett Gang, etc, go out of business.
They neeed to be more inventive and a lot more pugnacious.
LMAO! Delay sure knows how to get them Rat's all worked up!
He's smiling because he knows Earl won't be smiling when he gets his mug shot.
Looks good, but he needed a little trim around the ears.......
A picture of Ronnie Earle behind bars would be nice.
It's one of the better pictures of him. ;)
Hell, I'd like to have an autographed copy to hang in my office! I would even be willing to make a small contribution to his legal defense fund in exchange for a signed 8x10!
"Liberals complain about absolutely everything. That's one of their defining traits."
You got that right! Maybe they should change the name of their party -- Bitchocrat OR Moanocrat OR Bitchnmoanocrat!
