Drudge: Rick Santorum's Tragic Yearbook Photo
The Atlantic ^

Lots of candidates have embarrassing things in their past that they'd hate to have flare up in the middle of a presidential campaign. I think we can safely conclude that we have found Rick Santorum's! At the right, cast your eyes upon the tragedy that is Santorum's high school year book photo--specifically, Carmel High School in Mundelein, Illinois, in 1976. (The picture is from Chris Good's compilation of high school year book photos of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates--it's not pretty, although I recommend clicking through.)
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.

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

The picture with the glasses is either Dwight Schrute or Michael Bolton from Office Space.

She was a pretty girl, and apparently republican, before meeting Clinton I guess. Picture backs that up.

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

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

Are you sure that second, smaller picture is Newt? It looks like the guy from The Office to me. Raine something, I think.

Rush Limbaugh today was talking about how the... Media... have yet to mention anything about Obama's old girlfriends or even his boyfriends. I tuned into Rush late today, so did he actually mention the boyfriend part?

C'mon, Blacks were in in the 70s and fashionwise it was the worst decade for White kids. You could do a lot worse than "Soul Train" for fashion in the 70s. Case in point:
60s style was better. Romney and Perry:

Their line is excessive though:

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

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
