Congressional Candidate Appears Magically Skinnier in Doctored Campaign Photo

A mailer from a congressional candidate's campaign contains a photo of his head attached to an image of a different body that makes him look thinner.

The photo is presented as a true image of Dean Hrbacek, a Republican former mayor of Sugar Land. In reality, it is a computerized composite of Hrbacek's face and someone else's slimmer figure, in suit and tie, from neck to knee.

According to the article, it appears like the candidate may not have known about this from what the campaign manager was quoted in the article.

Campaign manager Scott Broschart acknowledged to The Houston Chronicle that the image is a fake. Hrbacek has been so busy that he had no time to pose for a full-length photo for the mailing, Broschart said.

"He may appreciate that we took a few pounds off him," Broschart said. "I think the voters ... are more concerned with the issues as opposed to pretty photo shoots."

Kind of hard to believe they couldn't find a full body picture of him anywhere though.

He is pulling a Ron Paul. Classic example of claiming the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.
