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.

Maybe he should have posed like the former "Mr. No-Pants President" did on the cover of Esquire.
Well, the mugshot is the highlight.
The dismissal comes next, followed by the disbarment and reprimand of Earle.

Liberals complain about absolutely everything. That's one of their defining traits.
Very smart of Mr. Delay to not give them what they want.
Must be really depressing to be a Liberal Democrat.
Were I Delay, I'd frame that photo in my office.
It turned out pretty nice!
Does not matter, from now on, that is the only picture that the MSM will use when they do a story about Delay even after he is cleared of the charges.
Pure jealousy: `Rats aren't very photogenic.

I wonder if "Hold Muh Beer" Alerts are required on KickingAss.com?
Delay continues to be one step ahead of em. LOL!
You got that right. Maybe we could start a FR acronym for just DC for threads titled.."Dems Complain...." . DC about this, DC about that.
It sure must be depressing when your entire movement is depressed by a mugshot that cannot be used in campaign materials.
DeLay has BALLS.
Oh, but it doesn't end there. Earle's son is running for office now....and I plan to exact whatever revenge I possibly CAN through him, also.
Payback's a bitch (and so am I).
GO DELAY!!!

You know, you're right - they seem to be just unhappy, humorless folk.
Precisely why DeLay did it that way. He's giving the Democrats and the MSM the one-finger salute with that pose.
