But she's a Democrat so she didn't get to primp for her booking photo.

(12,778 posts)4. Oh, I see. I'll look her up.
Being from Oklahoma, I try not to pay too much attention to Texas.
Edited to add: Well, in all fairness, she was brought in for drunk driving. I don't imagine too many DUI suspects look primped and happy.

so she was not really in a fit state to do much "primping".

I think the OP is trying to make some kind of association of either Pukes or Criminals smile. But Lehmberg is a criminal so that shoots that one down and I don't know what Peterson's politics are.
