Why isn't he smiling now?

Picture of Delay on CNN saying he won't be going back to his leader post.


He seemed so proud in his mugshot.

1. SMILING? I'd love to have been there when Hastert and the other

Pubs told him he's gotta go! I bet there was quite a tirade. Too bad we can't hear THAT conversation!!!!

[William769]

2. I'm with you on that. I would have loved to have heard that conversation.

3. He's still ugly, inside and out!

:mad:

4. Because

He just heard what his prison name is going to be.

7. No pun intended but...

His nickname will be big mouth!

5. He thought he was being so politically smart when the mugshot was snapped.

Smile for the camera, keep the opposition from using the mugshot as amunition, strip the incident of its gravitas and shame. Now, however, I think it'll work against him. As the evidence mounts, as his friends testify against him, and as his colleagues turn their backs upon him, the public will see his happy face at that moment as a sign of defiant arrogance, hubris itself caught on film.

I wonder if, like his failure to serve in Vietnam, Delay believes he won't go to prison since "the minorities (have taken) all the available spots."

8. I guess he will be wrong again.

9. do you think the revelation of cunningham wearing a wire had

anything to do with it.

13. not true <my edit> THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR DELAY

There's plenty of room where people like Delay go and I won't call it jail or prison. Minorities don't get to go to the posh, barless low-security country-clubs, where he MIGHT be detained for a few months because we are no longer a country of laws with equal justice for all but instead a country based on Machiavellian notions of double standards. A double standard of justice is no justice at all. Before we even see him in that low-security country-club we must wait for a long drawn out trial, which might be followed by presidential pardon.

6. We need to impeach Bush so he won't pardon this piece of sh*t.

What do y'all say?

[AtomicKitten]

10. Well, if he does the Repubs don't dare open their mouths about Dem pardons

Ha, who are we kidding, of course they will!
