Dibs on the Mama Grizzly if she ever decides to dump the first dude.

Rick looks Groovie!! I dig it!

[Hodar]

Credit where due ...

Weren’t Afro’s on white kids popular back then? At least he doesn’t have THAT skeleton in his closet.

[Vendome]

LOL

I luv you Rick but even you would have to be a little self deprecating and looking back on that pic and that time in your life...I think you’d have to laugh.

I sure hope none of my dorky pictures ever show up. I’ll cringe and laugh though.

Newt’s is far worse! (unless you’re a math teacher)

[frogjerk]

Pingu!

santorum doesn’t look that bad.

palin pic reminds me of alley sheedy.

Let’s face it, any Presidential candidate that graduated high school in the 70s, is going to be at a distinct disadvantage.

Santy looks like an attractive boy with weird glasses and sideburns. Take them off and shave and he’d be a great kid. I am sure every one of those Atkantic staffers is hot with movie star good looks, and all of their high school kids are too, right?

Rick's look is not all that out of kilter for Pittsburgh in the mid to late 70's...after all, it's the time and place that spawned Donnie Iris...

Some of the pics of the Presidents in uniform are also revealing ...

LOL, there is a copy of this very yearbook sitting on the bookshelf only a few feet away from me; my husband graduated from Carmel HS in 1977.

Most pictures from that regrettable fashion period known as the 1970s look ridiculously dated now, but back in 1976 (and compared to the rest of his class in the book), Santorum's photo would have looked very normal & average.

[PrincessB]

Considering that the guy is selling sweater vests on his campaign site, do you really thing that picture embarrasses him?

[nuconvert]

I don’t think his picture is that bad. I’ve seen a lot worse.

[thouworm]

Drudge routinely changes the source headline. Disappointed with Drudge that he kept this one-—”tragic”???-—pu-lease!

Their line is excessive though:

A quick office straw poll here at The Atlantic, conducted amidst uproarious laughter, confirms that this is, in fact, the single worst year book photo that most of us have ever seen. An outright disaster.

It's not a good picture, but whose yearbook picture was, especially in the 1970s?

[Fledermaus]

My 1977 senior photo is worse. I had more hair than Farrah Fawcett. And it was as feathered too! And I’m a man, man! lol

[matginzac]

I think, like wives and children of candidates, high school year book pictures should be off-limits...
high school should be forgotten as soon as you graduate...
