The Joys Of PhotoShop And Politics

Photoshop is a great thing, you can alter images and create funny graphics that aren't possible in real life, but that funny graphic should be. Well sometimes it is meant as a joke and other times people try to fool others into honestly believing they are someone they're not. Take Dean Hrbacek for example, he's one of the many Republicans running for the chance to take back Tom DeLay's old seat in Sugarland for the Republican party. We can all thank the corrupt and sinister "Hammer" for helping to give that to us. Sugarland was sick of him despite being overwhelmingly conservative. So being that there are so many people in the race, Dean wanted to stand out, too bad he was caught trying to mislead everyone.

From The Houston Chronicle:

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.[...]

Republican political consultant Allen Blakemore of Houston, who has no client in the congressional race, said there's no law against the practice "other than the laws of gravity — the negative effect on your polling numbers and popularity when you do such things."

Gravity can be a pain, and you can't photoshop the rules of physics, not even a Republican can do that.

Oh you want the proof, take a look at this.
