This wholesome pair was photographed at a 1968 pro-Vietnam War rally in New York by Mary Ellen Mark. Mark and Diane Arbus, two of the world's revered photographers, have captured the purgative essence of generations of right wing America. While these subjects are American, they could easily be Australian.
The old lady looks like she just stepped out of a Zippy the Pinhead comic. If the dashing young lad is still alive he'd be rootin' for the bubble boy in the Offal Orifice. Unless he was one of the mass murderers the bubble boy had executed in Texas during his gubernatorial internship in mass murder.
With those sparkling eyes and that snazzy hairstyle, this pinup boy for God's Pit Bulls on the Bite for Christ would surely have Young Liberal gals here in Arseholia creaming their chastity belts ... that is, if their genitals hadn't been blanked out in the name of wholesome family values.
Since he bears a striking resemblance to everyone's idea of Bill Heffernan as a youth, Sophie Panopoulis, one of Bill's greatest admirers, might like to have a copy of this photo to add to her rumoured collection of forbidden erotica. While sticking pins in democracy dolls, sources say Sophie achieves levels of ecstasy unheard of while feeling strands of John Howards eyebrow and nostril hair and gazing at naughty snaps which are said to include a blowup of the PM's lower lip, Bronwyn Bishop's old hairdo, and a doily knitted by Janette.

Brilliant.
Spot on Theo.
Right on target again.
