This was John McCain. No, really, I kid you not. Yeah, I wonder too, if the voting results would’ve changed to his favour, if he looked half as dashing today. My discovery of John McCain’s photograph of himself when he was young lead me to wonder how the politicians I know used to look like. It was an interesting discovery alright. Hilary was a fashion disaster then, and still is today. Stalin looked like an eccentric hairstylist from Toni&Guy. Putin looked like he had a bad childhood. Enjoy these pictures with me.

Doesn’t Vladimir Putin look like someone you may have bullied in primary school? Oh gosh. A far cry from what he is now, eh? Sorry mate, Putin gets special coverage because he’s my favourite politician.

    Stalin is quite handsome – he must’ve been deformed or something later in life to gain such a self-image complex.
