Probably Not The Mug Shot the Dems Were Hoping For

I don't this looks too bad at all really. I kinda like the "adios mofo" grin.

It may be a bit of a surprise to those of you who think Texas is redder than red that Austin is largely run by Democrats but our large cities aren't much different from yours (except they're solvent). Before this fat drunken harridan Rosemary Lehmberg ran the Travis County DA's office another jerk named Ronnie Earle did and he did the same kind of bullshit to Tom Delay and Kay Bailey Hutchison - criminal charges for political disagreements (Delay was forced to resign, convicted for breaking a law that wasn't in effect at the time he "broke" it after Earle finally stuck the mess in front of enough grand juries until he found one that would give him what he wanted. Delay's convictions were overturned on appeal)

What the Dems wanted was the word "Indicted" plastered to Perry's face in the news and they got that, it's no small thing. They were also hoping for a mug shot and I think they're gonna be a little disappointed with that.

Incidentally if you haven't see the drunk videos of Lehmberg's 2013 DWI booking (what started all this fun) they're all over the interwebs.

She was a little less polished than Rick was today.

Related, he can take a punch. And give one back.
