By SUZANNE GAMBOA, AP

Freepers must've gotten wind of this, too.

[unpossibles]

2. notice it says "beats the charges"

not "innocent"...?

[TK421]

3. Either this is being Freeped, or too many people think he'll weasel

his way out of it

[LisaM]

4. DeLay looks creepily like JR Ewing in his "mug shot"

It's the way he's smiling. He looks just like JR after he's executed a particularly heinous deal.

As far as I'm concerned he can file motions for new judges, new venue and any other silly thing he can think of. The image of him in the court room answering charges speaks volumes in the court of public opinion. Let's see it over and over.

13. Wonder if he'll scuffle with the guards?

Or give a defiant speech about how he doesn't recognize the authority of the court since "I AM the Federal government!"

[ohtransplant]

15. He'll try to keep that pained grimace/smile on his face

the whole time. I hope it hurts deep down in his rotten, gaping, soulless, cesspool of a coronary pump.

Win or lose I expect him to completely stay on message - how he's being prosecuted for beating Democrats - the criminalization of politics. All the surrogates are already singing the same song. I pray the court, jurors and 'murkins ins don't fall for it again.

12. Apparently, he's judge shopping, too.

Maybe someone will slam him against the wall ant take away his title and he goes back to being an insect exterminator.
