U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on Thursday turned himself in at the Harris County sheriff’s bonding office, where he was photographed, fingerprinted and released on bond on state conspiracy and money laundering charges.
“He posted $10,000 bond and they have left the bonding office,” Lt. John Martin with the sheriff’s department said. link
I hoped to have a better booking photo of DeLay than the above. Maybe something more like Nick Nolte’s booking photo. But I’ll take what I can get.
A lyric from Was Not Was:
Hi dad, I’m calling you from jail
Hi dad, happy birthday, I’m in jail
Jail, jail, hi dad
All those years, I’m in jail now
I’m in jail, I like it here
It’s nice, I like it
Hello dad, I’m in jail
Hello, hello dad, hi, I’m in jail
Say hi to mom, from jail
I’m in jail, I’m gonna stay here
I like it here
I like it, yeah, throw away the key
I’m in jail
Hello dad, I’m in jail
Jail, jail, jail, jail
“Shit, I fucked up and now I’m in jail…hell, I’m gonna pay for this…”
DeLay:
“Look Ma! I jes got arrested!”
And it isn’t Tom Delay, nor a good ole boy friend of Tom Delay’s, or somebody willing to bail Tom Delay out…….God doesn’t even seem to care about Tom Delay at all right now. Tom, did you do something to piss God off?
He was also given a coupon for 50 cents off soap on a rope.
I didn’t know Delay was so short.

Next diary will be on The DeLay Cartel – Abramoff – Norquist – Ney, amazing how far the indictments went last month!
More to come, perhaps Robert Ney (R-OH) and Tom Feeney (R-FL). WOW – I didn’t realize the sleaze went so deep it touched SunCruz Casino and a murder wrap.
Jack Abramoff says Adam Kidan hid his business failures and disbarment
By Curt Anderson
MIAMI (AP) Sept. 26, 2005 — Prominent Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and New York businessman Adam Kidan were once good friends who had known each other since their college days in the Washington area. They stayed in touch over the years and became business partners in a 2000 deal to buy a lucrative Florida fleet of gambling boats.
Now, both are charged in a federal grand jury indictment with fraud in connection with their purchase of SunCruz Casinos. And Abramoff says in court documents that he was hoodwinked by Kidan, who Abramoff contends kept secret his past business failures and disbarment as a lawyer.
“Had I known these facts about Kidan, I would never have signed” the SunCruz loan papers central to the federal indictment, Abramoff said in one of thousands of pages of court documents filed in response to a lawsuit brought against Abramoff, Kidan, SunCruz and others by two lenders after the ill-fated purchase.
Kidan never responded to Abramoff’s allegations nor did he answer the lawsuit filed by SunCruz financiers Foothill Capital Corp. and Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. A default judgment was entered against Kidan in the case. But the lawsuit was dismissed on Sept. 1 without damages being awarded, shortly after Abramoff and Kidan were indicted.
Kidan’s lawyer in the Florida criminal case, Martin Jaffe, said he would not comment on Abramoff’s claims. A telephone message left at Kidan’s home in New York was not returned.
So our nominees for “The Abramoff 6” are Tom DeLay (TX), Bob Ney (OH-18) Conrad Burns (R-MT), Dave Vitter (R-LA), Tom Feeney (FL-24), and Dan Rohrabacher (CA-46)

Listen, I’d give my RIGHT ARM to have Nick Nolte as the Majority Leader!
(not sure of his politics but, hell, they have to be better than Delay’s. And isn’t Barbra Streisand his therapist? That’s gotta be a good sign.)
paging bood abides for some Photoshopping expertise…
Is anyone NOT offended by the big damn smile on his face?
of desperation. I’m sure he was coached to do whatever he could to make it not look like a mug shot, and he did well.
Bad, bad Bugman.

Is this better?

Nolte looks like he could give Wynnona Judd some competition.

He was in the special Texas bonus round.

It’s beginning to look alot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go
There is Delay and Libby boy
Rove, Cheney and even Roy
To make a girl all real giddy
To not get Bush to would be a pity
Ah it’s Fitmas yahooooooooooo!!!!!
That shit eating grin just won’t go away. Politicians and Hollywood folk never cease to amaze me in how they can just put on that shit eating grin under any and all circumstances.
This grin reeks of:
Hammer, you’ve just been indicted for money laundering and state conspiracy charges, what are you going to do now?
[grinning like he just made a huge shit] I’m going to Disney World!
