Rep. Tom DeLay will likely be booked in a Texas county jail this week despite attempts by his attorneys to bypass the fingerprinting and mug shot process.


The former House majority leader was forced to step down from the post last month when he was indicted by a Texas grand jury. DeLay initially was charged with conspiracy to violate the election code and days later was indicted on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money in an alleged illegal scheme to funnel corporate money to Republican Texas legislative candidates.


DeLay's arraignment is set for Friday before state district Judge Bob Perkins in Travis County, Texas.


PERP WALK PERP WALK PERP WALK!!!!!

1. Book 'em, Dano!

Looks like he'll be throwing out the first pitch at Enron Field in his smashing orange jumpsuit!

[longship]

10. Sh*t! You took my title.

The first thing that came into my mind when I read the title to this thread was, "Book 'em, Dano".

Thanks for upkeeping high DU standards.... ;-)
:woohoo:

73. So much for him being the "Federal Government"

:rofl: That got him far! :evilgrin:

[Ganja Ninja]

86. Cuff'im & stuff'im.

:headbang:

[SoCalDem]

91. yesssssirrreee

[Arkana]

2. Frog march the bastard out of the packed House.

In front of all his buddies.

[electropop]

5. Let's hope the mug shots appear on the internets.

That would make the billboard project look better. :evilgrin:

[SteppingRazor]

11. I will be anxiously visiting thesmokinggun.com...

if those photos turn up anyplace, it'll probably be there.

And after that, I foresee posters in the near future.

[stillcool]

3. Sweet Surrender !!! n/t

[NVMojo]

4. woooohooooo!!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Can't wait to see that mug shot.

How much you wanna bet he'll try and block it from getting out?

[ClintonTyree]

68. Doesn't matter.........

there will be photo-shopped ones available everywhere. I can't wait!

[twaddler01]

75. lets get them on DU :)

:evilgrin:

[meow2u3]

98. I'd like to see DeLay's opponent using his mugshot

in his campaign ads.

"Would you re-elect this man for Congress?"

[EFerrari]

7. Thank YOU, Karma!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[hickman1937]

8. Doesn't he claim to be the government?

So the government is getting booked? Fingerprint that entitled bastard, and publish the mug shot. He'd do it to us proles in a hot minute.

[kostya]

9. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the booking room..... n/t

[Kurovski]

36. Oh, I'll tell ya' NOW what'll happen.

He'll start whimpering, then the forlorn sniffles will build into a full-blown blubber. He'll go weak at the knees and collapse. The officers accompanying him will lift him to his feet, exchanging disgusted glances as they do so.

His hands will tremble and he will need assistance with the finger-printing. As an officer once again comes to his aid, Tom turns to his uniformed helper and captor. Through the tears and snot streaming down his blotchy face, his trembling voice wavers in a pitiful "thank you, sir."

Stay tuned for part II, "Tommy in Prison: How to Make Friends and Influence Cellmates."

[anitar1]

65. Kurovski, thanks so much for the huge laugh you

have given me!

[Kurovski]

79. Sometimes seeing into the future is pleasurable.

You're welcome, anitar1.

[mrsadm]

82. nope, he'll be an arrogant bastard

the whole time. His face will have the "how DARE they mess with me, the federal government! I AM the Government!" look on it, nose in the air, angry expression. Betcha!

[Kurovski]

88. Take it from Madame Kurovska, reader of the orbs,

"DeLay's Lord shall grant him a celestial lesson of shame. He shall tremble as a little Aspen leaf on the mighty branch of justice. His mask will fall as does a star from the heavens."

Ahh, you know what? yer' prolly right. After all Tom has convinced himself it's all the evil librul's fault. :hi:

The absurd improbability of such a scenario for Tommy is where any of its humor lies. Were it to actually happen pity rather than laughter would most likely be my response.

But I'm willing to find out. :evilgrin:

[Loki]

12. Makes living in Texas fun again!

I want a copy of that mug shot!

[Tight_rope]

49. I want to use DeLay's MUG shot as my desk top background!

[brentspeak]

13. Sorry, DeLay. No special treatment for you.

[longship]

14. Love that judge... (Quote)

"Perkins believes that if God was charged with a felony, he would have to go through the booking process, too," said D'Ann Underwood, court coordinator for the judge."

Those fundies have got to be absolutely shitting their pants over this statement. I love it!

[NVMojo]

18. good eye, I love that one too!! May he also go down with Abramoff

on bilking the Indian tribes ...dirty bastard!

[Kurovski]

40. That's right, no "legislating from the bench."

I wonder, how many times has Tommy bleated that line?

[Melissa G]

81. Bob Perkins Rocks!!! It is fitting that Delay comes before him!!! n/t

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Beetwasher]

15. DeLay's Own Fault. I Bet Earle Was Gonna Let Him Slide On This At First

And then Delay starting bad mouthing Earle and running those attack ads.

What an idiot.

[warrens]

16. That mug shot would make a great wall poster

I know I'd buy a few to distribute to Republican relatives this xmas.

[SledDriver]

17. Some advice for Mr. DeLay...

When "tossing the salad", clockwise is better than up & down. :rofl:

[belle]

25. Oh, you know he won't spend a second in jail. His bond's probably pre-

paid. Still, I know his egomaniac little soul is writhing and screaming at the indignity of BEING TREATED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

sometimes, schadenfreude really is a relative thing. if only because it has to be.

[xultar]

19. Will they book his hair separately?

:shrug:

[NanceGreggs]

24. Brilliant!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[xultar]

32. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[CatWoman]

35. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:thumbsup:

[npincus]

20. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[LiberalinNC]

21. I hope they release his arrest photo!!! That's a keeper!

;)

[NanceGreggs]

22. Just Throwing it out there ...

If anyone out there has the ways and means (as I'm sure many of you do)all upcoming mugs shots, photos of indictees, perp walks, etc. could be compiled into a great 2006 calendar -- proceeds could go to appropriate Dem cause ...

[Cactus44]

28. It would make a great page on DU too!

Whenever anybody feels down or depressed they could just open that page and feel much, much better. Elated even!

[Pastiche423]

51. A most excellent suggestion!

W/all of the (maybe) indictments coming down, there will be at least two calendar years of photos!

I will patiently await the production of the calendars.

Btw, welcome to DU.

[NanceGreggs]

58. You're right, Pastiche!!

I realize now that one calendar probably won't be enough. How about one of those highly stylish 'coffee table' books, full of glossy photographs!!!!!!! I can think of dozens of people, right off the top of my head, who would LOVE to have one prominently displayed in their home -- all the more fun if you happen to have Repug relatives coming over!

Imagine, the gift that will keep on GIVIN' for years to come!!!

[Hotler]

70. A coffee table book that unfolds into...

a jail cell complete with bars.....

[Joanne98]

67. That's a great idea. We need twelve......

[opiate69]

80. Someone's gonna have to make an avatar out of it..

[Uncle Joe]

23. I wonder if he will give me an autographed mug shot? n/t

[AnneD]

26. Gee

I thought you were referring to his busy schedual:evilgrin:

[Vinca]

27. Smile for the camera, Tommy! LOL.

:rofl:

[tgnyc]

29. Perp Walk baby!

[Arkansas Democrat]

30. Oh joy! I can hardly wait to see the

picture of him!!

[fooj]

31. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hammer THIS, dickhead!

peace.

[Zech Marquis]

34. ah yes!!!

The Bug Man getting prep walked and booked :bounce: that is Must See TV for sure :bounce:

[Roon]

37. Nice!

Something to kill the time while we wait for more indictments!
:popcorn:

[DiverDave]

38. I will bet any amount, it ain't gonna happen

He'll skip the country Or call in all the I.O.U.'s and threaten to take them ALL down with him.

Or he my just be offed.

But, my guess is, no perp walk.

[klook]

48. Maybe he can flee to Oklahoma

The Homeland Security forces would never be able to find him there!

[Tight_rope]

54. If they can get to Kelly...I don't see why not DeLay!

DeLay might want to stay off small planes...Better yet...he needs to get on several. He's of no use to anyone anymore. I'm sure many of his crooked friends would agree. This is probably keeping them up at night.:spank: :rofl:

[Flirtus]

39. what if his fingerprints

don't show up and his image won't take on photographic film?

[Kurovski]

41. Then we call in the exorcist.

[lovuian]

43. Ya gotta love it!!!

all in Travis County Texas!!! Delay has to be asking himself was it worth it???

[grateful581]

44. that is good news!

thanks

[displacedtexan]

45. Cue that Law & Order pizzicato!

[displacedtexan]

57. It's the string section (amplified to the max).

I spend a million years plucking and bowing violin and viola strings.

[davidinalameda]

52. hehehe

great post!

:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

46. perp walk?

maybe a couple of baton jabs to the kidneys?

Or a gratuitous New Orleans-style aass kicking?

Too much to hope for.

[Swamp Rat]

72. I can handle the second job.

:mad:

[meganmonkey]

47. Poor baby has to get a mug shot and fingerprints

I feel SOOOOO sorry for him :sarcasm:

[stevedeshazer]

55. Oh, like YOU would know...

:)

[liberalcanuck]

53. It will make a great avatar! nt

[CTyankee]

56. Nah, he'll be DRUNK on his ass when he's booked

Do you have to answer questions when you're booked? If so, expect a great deal of slurring. Maybe we can get it on tape just like his attempts to say "savagery" and calling Kay Bailey Hutchison a "senior citizen of Texas."

[stlsaxman]

76. He'll be drunk in the hottub...

the "Ask Hot-tub Tom" routine will have a hayday with THIS!

"Pull up a bubble and ask me a question- aaaaaany question!"

"Mr. Delay, would you pleas-"

"Hey, why be so formal?!? We're in a hot tub- call me 'Hot tub Tom'!"

"Hot tub Tom, would you please come with us down to the Sherriff's Office? You're under arrest..."

"Huh? Wha- Hey someone broke the filter on my hot tub!?!?- THE WATER'S TURNING BROWN!!!!"

:rofl:

[UrbScotty]

59. Happy birthday to me Friday! (nt)

[Kurovski]

61. Oooo, that would be a NICE present!

Happy early birthday, ih8thegop!

[UrbScotty]

74. Thank you! (nt)

[Catherine Vincent]

63. Book 'hm Dano!

[Orrin_73]

64. Why is 'Jailhouse Rock' my favorite song these days!!!

[ClintonTyree]

66. How soon will we see DeLay mugshots on Ebay?

And I'll be the high bidder, you can bet on it. I want that hanging on my wall. I want to buy the entire BFEE collector's set. Let's see....DeLay, Rove, Libby, Cheney, Frist and hopefully, the big kahuna, the biggest of them all, bush himself! I'd be euphoric, I don't drink or do drugs but I'd start just for that occasion! :party:

[Twist_U_Up]

69. I wonder .....does he have to remove the rug ?

[stlsaxman]

71. How does this bode for Roy and Matt "Baby" Blunt?

Inquireing Missourians want to know!

:popcorn: :woohoo:

[Independent_Liberal]

77. Alright! Take me to Funky Town!

:D

[grannylib]

78. YeeHaw! Why should that corrupt lying arrogant asshat get off with any

better treatment than other common criminals??
Can't WAIT to see the pix of that one.

[Tiggeroshii]

83. He really will be Tom DeLay(R-Prison)

That'll be great. I just hope that the mug shots don't look too much like the photoimposed ones that've been around....

[rpannier]

84. I want a wall poster of his mug shot. n/t

[chknltl]

85. Calenders have been suggested....

...perhaps collectible coffee "mugshot" mugs might be popular items for sale here at the DU. (Just in time for christmas!!!)
For each crooked repug convicted there would be a coffee mug with the perp's mugshot. Limited edition of course, after all, this IS America! :patriot:

[dubyaD40web]

87. I wonder if they'll use purple ink on his fingers?

LOL

[Voltaire99]

89. Nothing sweeter than seeing a plutocrat get his.

A pity he can't be hauled around the nation in a cart and exhibited at county fairs.

[Seedersandleechers]

90. It's definitely payback time...

[lwin]

93. Now I'd PAY to see that...

hauled around the nation in a cart and exhibited at county fairs

Oh the visual...:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[entanglement]

92. Never thought I'd say this in a TOM DELAY thread

but yes, this thread needs more pictures...mugshots, I mean
:evilgrin:

[libhill]
