DeLay Smiled During Booking Because He Felt “Peace and Joy”
I heard and recorded the last part of Tom DeLay’s interview on Sean Hannity’s radio program. DeLay, who was behind the star chamber-like “evidence room” prior to the Clinton impeachment vote--referred to his indictment as part of the Democrat’s strategy of “the politics of personal destruction.”

DeLay talks about his grinning booking photo:
HANNITY: . . .We were just down in Houston, by the way. We had a great time. We wished you could have joined us and maybe the next time I’m down there--
DELAY: Well, you could have watched me get booked.
HANNITY: All right. One last question: you definitively went in with a strategy to smile. That wasn’t by accident, was it?
DELAY: That was not by accident. I’m not going to let them see any—-but I gotta tell you: that picture reflects the peace and the joy that I feel right now. I’m not down about this. I really feel good about what I believe in and I know that I’ve done nothing wrong and I’m not going to let them get me down.

6. actually it's the politics of personal responsibility!
don't do the crime if you can't do the time!!

Just wait 'til he's been in prison for a couple of years. He may have trouble smiling then........

10. Criminals never lose sleep
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 06:34 PM by kurth
It's possible that DeLay wasn't lying on this one. True happiness is a crime well done, and they all sleep like little babies.

11. Peace and joy my ass. He's twisting in the wind.
Putting the best face you can on it. The eyes aren't always direct. There's a downcast look to them that doesn't quite match the smile. In the conflict, his fear emerges, teeth bared, upright, however, he
seems to realize that he's going to have to pay some dues. It's all there for the viewing.

15. He's a sociopath, and he fully expects to get out of this.
I desperately hope he's wrong.

17. That is what used to be known as "shining them on"....
trying to psyche out your enemies with a show of false self-confidence.

Doesn't work in the real world, Tom.

18. DeLay is an arrogant fool
The reason DeLay smiles like this is that he is an utterly
delusional, arrogant fool who is so drunk with power he cannot
see how much trouble he's truly in.
