Lookin’ good, Rick
As mugshots go, pretty nifty, even without the trendy glasses:
He could turn the perp walk into a strut.
The Democrats might come to regret this one. Even Mother Jones calls him a “handsome devil.”
Tom DeLay had a similar idea for his mug shot. But DeLay is no Perry in the male pulchritude department:
ADDENDUM: And I found this at American Digest:
Yep, Rick has lost that slick car salesman look and he is starting to look more like a steady, trustworthy guy you want on your side if someone starts shoot’n .
This is where activism starts. Take the narrative and shove it down the Democrats’ throats.
His prosecution doesn’t both me. It is instead a badge of honor, but low IQ/information voters will no doubt see it differently.
Neo we need to keep a low profile…Mrs Perry is getting suspicious.
*waving from across room* Hi, Governor – nice to see you again!
Seriously, I did meet Governor Perry once – at a Tea Party event in 2009. He is very charming, and very, very sharp; I think of just about all the mid-range professional politicians he saw the potential of the Tea Party very early on.

“If looking good’s a crime, then baby I’m guilty!”
Lizzy,
Thanks for the link to that photo. Now if only Perry embraces this phony baloney indictment as part of his campaign strategy.
Lizzy:
I added that photo before I saw your comment. Love it, though.
Not only did he smile for his handsome mug shot, but he was photographed going out for ice cream afterward:
