Head Be Checked Hrbacek

If Shelley Sekula's two month disaster as a temporary Congresswoman, her pink outfits, and her "Vote twice for Shelley" songs weren't enough, candidates for Congress Dean Hrbacek (He-ba-check) has given more for voters to digest.
The picture, presented as a true image of the candidate, is actually a computerized composite of Hrbacek's face and someone else's figure, in suit and tie, from neck to knee caps. The give-away is a flawed fit of head and collar.
Yep. Hrbacek doctored a photo of his head on another body, a trim body. So what is Hrbacek? Fat? Out of shape? Right Wing? And why is he running for Congress? Or is it for comic relief? Well we might have an answer right here:
So Hrbacek's campaign consultants at the Patriot Group in Austin — whose clients have included congressmen, elected state officials and politically influential homebuilder Bob Perry — put the headless body with the candidate's disembodied head.
The Patriot Group, Bob Perry, swiftboating, and Hrbacek. Who would have thunk it?

I loved the quote the Chron attributed to Hrbacek's campaign manager: ""I think the voters ... are more concerned with the issues as opposed to pretty photo shoots,"

Then why did the campaign waste time and money on doctoring the picture?

You just cannot make this shit up.

They are not going to be able to photoshop his lisp. My advice is that they keep him off radio.
