Texas candidate gets skinnier in campaign photo

HOUSTON — Some politicians talk about cutting the fat, but this one was serious.
Congressional candidate Dean Hrbacek appears slimmer than usual in a new campaign brochure because a photo of his head was affixed to the image of a different body.
While the mailer sent to voters this week by the former Sugar Land mayor says "Dean's record speaks for itself," his physique clearly does not.
The picture, presented as a true image of the candidate, is a computerized composite of Hrbacek's face and someone else's slimmer figure, in suit and tie, from neck to kneecaps.
Hrbacek, a tax lawyer and accountant, did not immediately return a call placed to his campaign headquarters Friday by The Associated Press. He's among 10 Republicans seeking the nomination to run against U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Stafford.
Campaign manager Scott Broschart acknowledged the image is a fake. Hrbacek has been so busy meeting voters that he had no time to take a full-length, genuine photo for the political mailing, Broschart said.
...
I wouldn’t be too hard on him.
I mean, given Dean’s infamously bizarre physiognomy
I may have been tempted to try the same trick myself.
*(Yes, I stole it from Papa. And abused it. And, no, I don't think he'd mind.)

How industrious. . .
A new suit, and
shedding all that extra candydate
without breaking a sweat.
It's just so. . .
American.
Maybe they could put a new body politic on say, that little bulldog Dick Cheney.
Mmyep, Hillary's been done already; Bill's body politic, her controlling, blond, blue-eyed head.
And there was Queen Hillary. . .

Imagine four years of watching Hillary's wardrobe evolve around her fiscal responsibilities and her immediate Commander-in-chiefy-ness as a continuing "War President."
I'm not ready.
Head transplant?
I guess it's cheaper than buying a suit.
now that's some sloppy Shoppin' !
you'd think what with your mad skillz they'd have come knockin down yer door. frakkin amateurs!
& what campaign wouldn't benefit from a few shards of driftglass?
Drifty: Keep in mind that this is the turd vying to Replace Nick Lampson(D) in Tom DeLay's old seat. So basically, he is just another right-wing aristocratic freak who hates his own constituency. (I used to live in TX-22) Of course doesn't have enough respect for voters to even hire a skilled photo-shopper.
I wonder how many people know that the headline refers to a short story by a legendary American author.
I knew that pic couldn't be real -- no Texas Repuke is that thin. Party of drunk redneck fat fucks.
