Last night when McCain was giving one of the worst nominee speeches in modern history, a pic of a big house appeared on the greenscreen behind him. Nobody knew what it was or what it meant. And considering he made the worst gaffe of the past 20 years by saying he didn't know how many houses he had, it was a shockingly dumb photo to use.The people over at TPM (best news site on the Internet) believe the pic was a mistake. And a hilarious one at that.
So what was the mansion? TPM readers dug into the mystery and discovered that it looks like the Walter Reed Middle School in North Holllywood, California. And it turns out that this is exactly what the image was.Um. Yeah. McCain threw up a picture of a middle school, because....uh...he loves middle schools?
So what happened? A number of TPM readers have suggested a possible explanation: The McCain team actually wanted to use imagery of Walter Reed Medical Center in the background. But someone pulled up this image instead.If you can't run a proper greenscreen, you shouldn't be president. That's what my grandfather used to always say.
