Leadership: Texas Gov. Rick Perry smiled confidently for his mug shot, as if to signal he would prevail over politicized big government. In fact, that may resonate as a campaign theme for voters weary of the same abuses. Until now, the prevailing "narrative" was that a governor under indictment on two counts of "abuses of power" would be political toast. Because even if the charges were baseless, as these are, the mug shot and the screeching headlines would bring certain opprobrium. It certainly happened that way for now-exonerated House leader Tom DeLay, whose career was ruined by the same tactics that the same Travis County prosecutor's office is using against Perry. But these aren't normal times. Perry's deft use of his own mug shot, positioned with a tight "I've got you right where I want you" smile, is already being heralded as a campaign poster in an age when government itself is the biggest issue.

He’s not my “standard bearer”, but everybody knows the charges against him are bogus. Even the RATS admit it.
If we ever get a real conservative as president and he/she appoints a REAL Attorney General, that AG should file charges against the Travis County attorneys, prosecutors, judges and councilmen.
Disbar the lawyers for fraud.
Info: The “Yellow Rose” of Texas was a name for a female mulatto.
Thats a Democrat on the right and Republican on the left for anyone that might have missed the contrast.
And the Prosecution and Jury smells like fertilizer.
Maybe this is a life changing event for Perry that will push him permanently to our side. That’s what I’m hoping anyway.
Wow! What a brilliant photo RESPONSE!
Good for Rick!

Hes cute in that pic...
Perry’s got some very bright boys handling this. It will be fun to watch! Hell, it already is!
My thought looking at her was, not even with yours would I.
Roflmao!!!
Perry should turn around and level the same charge against her.
Doesn’t she look a little like John Belushi in that picture?
some say high yellow.......
she occupied Santa Anna in his tent. When Sam Houston attacked at San Jacinto she insured Santa Anna had his pants down
She is the metaphor for victory ...... the yellow rose of Texas
