Photo background fuck-ups we can believe in.
During the first section of McCain's speech last night, the enormo-screen behind him displayed what appeared to be a grand mansion with an expansive front lawn. Was this one of his (well, Cindy's, really) many homes? This seemed like an odd way to claim kinship with Middle America.
Worse, the close-up shots of McCain made it appear that the campaign had stumbled into another green-screen "Make McCain interesting" moment.
This morning, TPM reports that the truth is even stupider: the photo in question is of Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, which would seem to reflect an attempt to celebrate Walter Reed Army Medical Center by someone who's not too good at teh internets.
Is this the competence that McGrumpy would bring back to Washington? I can't wait!
