DeLay booked in Texas

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was booked on charges of money laundering and conspiracy charges today in Harris County, Texas. As part of the process, he had to submit to a mug shot and fingerprinting.

The Smoking Gun already has the mug shot up. It was pretty smart of him to smile for the picture. Certainly some Democratic operatives were hoping for a gloomy DeLay arrest photo to use in future campaign advertising.
