In this photo released by the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas, US Representative Tom Delay, Republican of Texas, is shown in a booking photo taken in Houston, Texas. The former Republican head of the House of Representatives spent less than 30 minutes at the sheriff's office, in the Houston suburbs, during which he posted a 10,000 USD bail bond, was fingerprinted and photographed, officials said.(AFP/HO)

Just a few filters and/or color reduced in the top image.

7. But it is a real "mugshot," since his info is listed.

The photo alone doesn't look as bad. So it's what we've all seen.

11. It would be interesting to look at other mug shots

from the same court. Don't they normally have the arrest(?) number sign on the photo? Or did they make a special case for DeLay?

4. Funny...looks more like the one Michael Jackson had.

It's almost as if DeLay is getting preferential treatment. Huh.

8. Olbermann just covered this !

He was shocked it looked so good, then gave up the cursory "celeb" mug shots, including some politicos....very funny :)
