nation+world Ranking political mug shots Texas Gov. Rick Perry — who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony abuse-of-power charges — had a lot on the line when he had his booking photo taken: Even if he beats the charges, there’s still that awkward arrest photo that will be floating around the Web. We decided to rank some famous political mug shots.

6 Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.)

5 Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho)

THE CHARGE: Trying to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate seat

THE CHARGE: DUI ANALYSIS: Crapo’s

picture is not good, but he has two advantages: First, it’s not obviously a mug shot. And second, he’s dressed so casually it almost looks like a photo his wife took right after he got out of bed.

ANALYSIS: The ranking wouldn’t be complete without Jim “Wait, Is That Hair?” Traficant. It’s a brutal photo. But it didn’t do much harm: He almost collected enough petitions to run on the ballot for a House seat in 2010.

ANALYSIS: Blago

apparently stopped by the police station after going out for a jog. He looks tired, and the concrete wall behind him makes it clear he’s being photographed in a type of institution.

ANALYSIS: Perry’s a good-looking guy, but mug shots rarely do their subjects justice. Darker pictures always make subjects look more guilty, and that’s the case here. Perry’s near-smile expression doesn’t really help.

ANALYSIS: One of Edwards’ assets was that he took a good photo. His mug shot is typical in that regard, though the lighting is a bit harsh. But in the end he looks like a politician in a bad photo, not an accused criminal.

ANALYSIS: DeLay’s booking photo is the gold standard of political mug shots. It’s got the big grin and the absence of any you-are-in-a-policestation indicia. It’s like class-picture day on Capitol Hill.
