Texas rethug alters his own photo in mailer to voters

Rebooblican photoshops his flabby phiz onto a more flattering body.

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.

Hrbacek, a tax lawyer and accountant, did not immediately return a call to his campaign headquarters. He is seeking the nomination to run against Democratic U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson.
Heh: his campaign slogan? "Integrity. Vision. Leadership." More here.

No, that's "Integrity. Vision. Leadership. Photoshop."
