In the Slammer

It appears that Tom DeLay will be booked:

Rep. Tom DeLay will likely be booked in a Texas county jail this week despite attempts by his attorneys to bypass the fingerprinting and mug shot process.

The former House majority leader was forced to step down from the post last month when he was indicted by a Texas grand jury. DeLay initially was charged with conspiracy to violate the election code and days later was indicted on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money in an alleged illegal scheme to funnel corporate money to Republican Texas legislative candidates.

On a happier note, it looks like Tom DeLay will have options after the 2006 elections. I have talked to my sources and it appears likely that Orkin would consider hiring the former exterminator to handle some of their small-scale infestation jobs.

WELL DONE, TOM!
