Tom DeLay got a lot of attention for the beaming face he showed to the Harris County (Texas) sheriff's office when he appeared for a photo op a few weeks ago...

(courtesy of The Smoking Gun)

but while leafing through a copy of Time Magazine today, we came across a photo of DeLay disciple Michael Scanlon after his indictment, and we now believe the apprentice has outdone the master:

Here is today's hot story, about a Nike corporate jet. Curiously, CNN.com has nothing on this
