The Perp Walk: "

In case you missed the last paragraph of a wire story about the criminally indicted House Republican leader Tom DeLay:

DeLay's lawyers are trying to avoid having their client handcuffed, photographed and fingerprinted for his October 21st court appearance.

That's a surprisingly soft-on-crime stance for a guy whose long list of abuses of power include sending Homeland Security agents to hunt down his political opponents.
