LOL! McCain Handlers Mix Up Walter Reed HOSPITAL With Walter Reed HIGH SCHOOL On Big Screen
(Hattip to Scout Finch at Dailykos!)

HA!HA!HA!...McCain standing in front of a grand building... And what building could possibly deserve such a prominent role as the main backdrop of McCain's nomination speech? According to TPM readers, it is Walter Reed. As in Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California.






Wait, what? Did they mean to have an image of Walter Reed Medical Center? Ouch. If only they were a little better at "the google", they might have recognized their mistake. Here is the Walter Reed Medical Center:





ABC News says the McCain camp isn't commenting. If they meant for the image to be Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, I'm sure we'd all love to hear why that fine school was selected for such an honor.

Between the lack of vetting on Sarah Palin and the botched presentation this decade week to the American people, the McCain camp would be well-advised to "do the google" a little more often. Let's hope they have plenty of time to explore the world wide web in November and beyond.

2. McCain doesn't see the difference between a school and a hospital.
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 11:41 AM by Ashy Larry
He wants to get rid of both.

12. It also shows he's never been to Walter Reed Hopsital, or he would have caught the mistake

6. OUR point, IMHO, should be: McCain is so "for" Veterans he doesn't even know what Walter Reed
Hospital looks like.

32. McCain even gave a look up if I remember
and I was thinking that HE must be thinking "Why are they showing my house?"

this is sadly funny

16. Shouldn't the "friend" of veterans know what Walter Reed looks like?
Or did his staff confuse the school with one of his houses? :rofl: Can that do anything right? Sheesh.

19. Big question: Was this video?
Most everything else in the backdrop were videos, so if this was, a film crew went to the school and didn't realize they weren't at Walter Reed Medical Center. Truly damning if that's the case.

21. Walter Reed Med Center has been underfunded because the repugs were funding the school by mistake!
They are a party of fuck-ups.

When I first saw this image last night, I assumed it was the servants' quarters on one of the McCain estates.

25. Walter Reed's entrance has those obnoxious "Obama Greek columns"
:sarcasm:

Of course, the whole thing backfired because he ended up in front of a lawn that became a green screen on close-up! :rofl: Even CSPAN's blog monitor mentioned that much of the activity on the political blog and discussion sites was about the green screen!!

28. Yup, they had the correct picture but their cheapshot on Obama
made them do a frantic search without the "Greek Columns" and now they got egg on their face.

Hilarious
Funniest thing I have seen in awhile. And all they succeeded in doing was to get him another green screen. What a bunch of morans.

31. Not only that but because McCain was on the podium he was surrounded by
green again and it looked really bad. I thought it very strange since he had such bad reviews of the green screen the first time. They changed the backdrop and put up an American flag blowing in the wind pretty soon.
