The Arbitrary ChuckJerry

A web site somehow affiliated with Court TV, the smoking gun, takes pride in posting all the mug shots they can find of famous or infamous people. Usually the people look really messed up or at least upset at being booked and they have the sign held up that says they're in the so and so police department so you know it's a mug shot.

Tom DeLay's mug shot is none of these things. This looks like a fucking head shot that he would put on his web site so people would know how great he is. He's not even holding the sign up that says he's being booked. This is a sorry excuse for a mug shot.

He's got his suit and tie on and he's all happy to be there. This isn't a partisan issue. Mug shots just need to deliver a shot of someone at their most embarrassed, most drugged out, or most intense moment. This isn't any of that. The Houston police should be ashamed of themselves.
