Dean Hrbacek, Republican for Congress

Dean Hrbacek is from Sugar Land, Texas, the home of former Congressman Tom "Corrupt Asshole" DeLay and he's one of 10 Republicans vying for the right to challenge Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson for his seat in the fall. He's also, apparently, a bit pudgy. So pudgy, in fact, that his own staff Photoshopped his head onto the body of a slimmer man , ostensibly because he didn't have the time to sit for a portrait for his campaign literature. His chief of staff, Scott Broschart said, "He may appreciate that we took a few pounds off him," so we thought we'd earn some of his appreciation by helping out just a little bit more.
