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.

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.

I say more of a John Garfield.
I would post a photo but could not find one that didn’t have a female in his face. :^}
