(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 \ldblquote 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.
''Now Ronnie Earle has the mugshot he wanted," DeLay's attorney Dick DeGuerin told reporters after DeLay was booked. DeGuerin also noted that DeLay is smiling in the mug shot. "He's eager and he's ready to go," the attorney told reporters.
While Democrats scream corruption, DeLay's supporters argue that the fund-raising-related charges against him are flimsy and came only after prosecutor Ronnie Earle brought the case before three grand juries. Two of the three returned indictments, forcing DeLay to temporarily relinquish his powerful position as House majority leader.
DeLay has requested that his trial be moved out of Travis County, but Earle said he would oppose the motion. DeLay's attorneys also have asked Travis County Judge Bob Perkins to step aside, given his record of supporting liberal politicians and causes.

They're not complaining, Bear, they're laughing at it.

It's kind of like winning an award. Publisity, good or bad, is always well accepted.
I don't know the facts of the case (nor do the Democrats) but if found not guilty, this will really look like a witch hunt.
Amen,

I heard that his huge smile was because he KNOWS they have nothing on him....can't pin anything DIRECTLY to him.
Plus other mention has been made that he wanted to be smiling in all tapes because the dems were hoping to use a 'worried face' on their 2006 campaign ads. Now they won't be able to do so.

Grin shows total lack of respect for the seriousness of the charges, the law, and his fellow Americans.
It may also show that Republicans can usually get away with crimes because they are in power and have the Supreme Court in their hip pocket.
If charging people with crimes is a "witch hunt" then I guess we should just quit charging people with crimes!
Ya, all the charges and indictments are just a big Democratic conspiracy against the pure and holy righties
"....can't pin anything DIRECTLY to him.""
So it's OK if he gets away with wrongdoing???
You neocons sure don't have many (or any) morals. To you crimes are OK if you can get away with them.

Lets see misuse of campaign funds to defrauding the taxpayers of money.

Hey NEOCONS, you all love talking about crime and law and order. How about over 3 million illegals in this country from all over because their visas have expired. Their papers expire and they disappear becoming illegals.
What is your CON-servative form of government doing about it? They have assigned 51 agents to track down over 3 million people.
ANOTHER REASON THE HOUSE OF LIARS,CONS AND CROOKS IS CRUMBLING.
