Drudge: Rick Santorum's Tragic Yearbook Photo
The Atlantic ^ | May 26, 2011

Posted on 01/19/2012 2:05:43 PM PST by Zakeet

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.

The Leftists are all about humiliation and making decent candidates look dorky—unpopular. Media is all about creating “perceptions!”

Santorum looks like an average person from the 70’s.

They have brainwashed and conditioned people to vote on “looks” and superficiality-—not on content of character. They care only about Marxist ideology-—you have to be a socialist/marxist/atheist. If you are not-—you will be destroyed.

Lincoln would NEVER have been elected because of today’s mass media and the lack of education in the public schools. And, BTW, he is a homosexual/sarc. The press lies continually, since before Joseph McCarthy to shape opinions. Nothing new here.

Most high school year books photos make people look dorky, except Palin which is why I still have a girl crush.

This bugged me. Drudge ran two hit pieces on Santorum today. This one is just plain stupid. For 1976, Rick looks pretty clean cut and sensible. Solid colored suit and tie and a patterned shirt were not "fall down laughing" back then. It was the norm. Where is the Atlantic piece slamming Obummers HS photo. He looked like an extra from Superfly or one of the bad dancers on Soul Train.

That yearbook picture looks no different from millions of other yearbook photos from the same time.

How 'bout this one, liberal freaks?

Care to take a "quick office straw poll" about that one?

BHO high school picture is on the internet. I did a google search, there are several of the senior pix and his other entries. I don’t know how to post them. Maybe you will be able to.

Here's a snap of the World's Smartest Woman just out of law school, and one for the Royal Moo during her last year of high school.

I never ever would have imagined such a low-life could become President of The United States. I STILL can’t believe it.....

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.

I would hazard a guess that most of those prissy little faggots at the Atlantic were't even alive in 1976 ... and that their real beef with Santorum is that Santorum disapproves of faggotry.

Santorum would have needed to avoid the wedgie squad...
