Two governors -- Deal and Perry #2

This is the police mug shot of Governor Rick Perry of Texas.   He turned himself in today to be booked and arraigned -- but he was not arrested or taken into custody -- after being indicted by a grand jury last week on the charges of abuse of power in attempting to force the resignation of the head of the prosecutor's office that handles ethical charges against elected officials.

Be afraid, Governor Nathan Deal of Georgia.  Be very afraid.   Because what Perry did is so very similar to your manipulation of Georgia's ethics commission and its chair(s) to get charges against you reduced to a wrist-slap for technical violation.   You got away with it . . . so far.


But it's not over yet.   First, you've got a political opponent who is going to use it against you.  And then there may still be a new investigation of all that.   The fat lady hasn't sung yet, sir.

PS:   Do you suppose this is the typical mug shot in Texas?    In color.   Smiling.   Camera-ready appearance.  Or is this special treatment for the governor?
