But according to Talking Points Memo (www.talkingpointsmemo.com) if you panned back from the closeup of McCain with the green, the green was, in reality, the grass in front of a building that was supposed to be Walter Reed Army Hospital. Only problem was, it wasn't the hospital, it was Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood in California!
Apparently, the Republi-geeks who were tasked with putting a photo of Walter Reed in the slide show screwed up and when they googled found the school instead. Now, perhaps they were not stupid, since the photo of Walter Reed Hospital shows the front of the building with Greek columns and those would have shown behind McCain. Kinda hard to claim Obama is arrogant by using columns and then putting columns behind your guy, but knowing that Republicans can be dumber than a bag of rocks, I'm thinking the Gooper Geeks were told to find a picture of "Walter Reed" and so just found any Walter Reed and inserted it.
If posting pix and links were easier here, I could show you. But you'll just have to head over to TPM yourself for a gander.

TPM is updating along the way and apparently, the McCain Camp is scrambling for reasons why it happened, pointing fingers, etc.
Geez. If they can't get Walter Reed, the place where our soldiers and vets go for medical help, right, how the heck can we trust them to get anything right!
