Too Funny - McCain's green-screen backdrop WRONG Walter Reed!
:rofl:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/213806.php

A lot of people were asking tonight: what the hell was that mansion up behind John McCain tonight during the first part of the speech? As I noted below, the TV close-ups only showed McCain's head against the grass in the picture, which made it look like he was reprising his famed green screen performance. And when they panned out, it looked like McCain was showing off one of his mansions.

Well, several readers have written in to tell me that the building is actually the main building on the campus of the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California. And sure enough, this page on the school's website makes it pretty clear that they're correct.

4. Heh. Did you see the green screen videos Colbert had?
The funny thing about the Walter Reed Jr. High is that he did it himself. :rofl:

Maybe it's just late, but that is just killing me!

7. McCain probably thought it WAS one of his houses.
That's too funny. Republicans the party of everyday screw-ups. Al least this one didn't cost us anything!

13. Am I getting this right?
He wanted a picture of Walter Reed Hospital but he got one of Walter Reed Middle School? Is that what you're telling me? Really? Are they really that clueless and incompetent?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

All I saw all night was green or blue screen behind him. I thought of Colbert.
