We Report, You Decide

As I said before, the story about Dean Hrbacek and the photoshopped picture in his flier is a big old nothing-burger -- or ought to be.

Especially when you look at this graphic from the folks at CD22 Watcher.

If anything, Dean appears to have been getting himself in better shape, as he doesn't seem to be all that much thinner in the picture at issue than he does in the candid shot -- certainly not enough for people to get their bowels in an uproar over.

Let's talk issues in CD22, not this sort of trivia. And let's see some legitimate coverage of the race from the Houston Chronicle, not this sort of silliness.

1 This is obviously a coordinated hit by one of the campaigns against Dean. The Chronicle wasted more ink on this than on discussing any major issues. Wonder if we start having the photo shop watch to see just who is airbrushing youth into their pictures or hiding blemishes and just exactly what the threshhold for notoriety will be to determine when the airbrushing becomes newsworthy.
