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.

I don’t think its kind (or mature) to make fun of someone’s appearance, but the dude who wrote this article needs to take another look at the picture of *himself* posted with the article. Um, no comment!!
Dibs on the Mama Grizzly if she ever decides to dump the first dude.””””
I call Dibs on the First Dude if Mama Grizzley ever leaves him behind.
I might be older than he is, but I know how to be VERY grateful!!!!!

Anyhow, he said when he was in high school in the 70s, he wanted hair just like James Taylor. He followed that with, problem is....I still have hair, just like James Taylor, but in his current style.
I was wondering what Horshack did when he left ‘Welcome Back, Kotter’! Now I know!
LOL
That smirk on Romney is annoying. He reminds me of that high school boy who would stand close to you so he could see if your patten leather shoes showed your underwear reflections.
Yes, he did. I was surprised that he did that.
I still made the after parties.
Funny, Santorum’s 1976 pic looks more like 1966.
Woe, Royal Moo looks very p!$$ed and angry in that picture ! I bet a lot of the other kids didn’t like being around her !
On Hilliary, those pants are atrocious ! Funny thing about her, I bet it is beneath her to wear blue jeans !
Cute
Rockabilly Newt! LOL!
Concerning Hilliary’s HS picture, as much as I think she is ugly and has an attitude, she actually looks good in that picture and has a good smile. I don’t see any angry vibes from the pic versus what I seen of her especially since she was first known in 1992.
Wellesley College was a real dis-service to her and a waste of her parents money.
Think, ‘Last Dance’.
I’ve always felt this is the most disturbing pic from Hussein’s past. No man... NO man... would ever sit in this configuration with another man. If the space next to Hussein were empty, you could think that perhaps someone left for a minute and would return soon. The space is not empty. This is two gay guys — a couple — enjoying a moment together. Gag me.
Aha! An independent, go-getter even back then...excellent.
