McCain’s weird green screen? It was a mistake


You’re gonna love this. Remember the weird green screen behind McCain as he was speaking last night? As his speech went on, we realized it was grass – grass from a larger photo of a house or some big mansion or something. In fact, the picture was of Walter Reed. No, not Walter Reed Army Medical Center where injured troops are treated – though that was clearly McCain’s intent, to use our injured troops as a political prop (just as last night they dared show footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, and the towers falling) – no, in fact, McCain posted a photo of Walter Reed Middle School, a school for kids in California that has nothing to do with Walter Reed the military hospital. They actually thought the school was the Army hospital. Apparently McCain just discovered the Google.

Great vetting.
