But we want to see you fingerprinted and cuffed, Tom!

The AP reports that Tom DeLay’s first scheduled court appearance is Oct. 21.

The story includes this laughable tidbit:

DeLay's lawyers have said they do not want him to be handcuffed, photographed and fingerprinted when he appears in Austin.

Ahh, Tom, this isn’t K Street. You can’t buy your way out of this MasterCard-level priceless photo op.
