Walter Reed Middle School

This is hysterical if it actually is the case…

I didn’t see it but apparently there was a picture on the screen behind McCain of a large building at one point during his speech. People were confused by what it was, turns out it is Walter Reed Middle School in Hollywood, CA. Nobody’s sure why they would have that up there, but someone suggested that whoever was in charge of the visuals was told to get a picture of Walter Reed Veterans Medical Center and used this by mistake.

I know there was talk in the speech about education so in all fairness maybe that was the gist of why it was there. But given the loathing of coastal big cities, especially evil Hollywood, is it really like THAT is the school they would have chosen out of all in American?

Again, one of the sillier notes of the two conventions but if that is what someone screwed up on it’s pretty funny.

Looks like they’re offering a “no comment” on this which likely means that it was a screw up, otherwise if there was a definite reason for him to be speaking in front of that backdrop they would have offered it up to stop the speculation.

This really is so ridiculously funny. I love how people have said that it’s no big deal to have a president/campaign/whatever that’s openly and admittedly not internet savvy and having them continually be tripped up by basic things like a google images search and youtube and stuff that even grade school kids know how to use.

Someone posted this on another board(although I think they got it from somewhere else) about that picture and I couldn’t really say it better, so..

Elitist New York media obsessives keep alerting us to the guy who cheered John McCain tonight at the Republican convention with a sign reading “THE Mavrick [sic].” So here’s the money shot, liberals! This image was, of course, captured by the Bolshevik intelligentsia at MSNBC, probably through a camera personally operated by Rachel Maddow, since Keith Olbermann was in New York. Cut this patriot a break, linguistic totalitarians. He’s probably a farmer or factory worker who could barely afford that finely tailored suit or the donations necessary to score good convention seats, much less a fancy college education. Besides, John McCain was tortured in Vietnam, so you can shut up and apologize for laughing at this now The End.
