If you saw McCain’s acceptance speech last night, you would have been forgiven for thinking that they had put him in front of a green screen again (see below).  Apparently not.  McCain spent part of the evening giving a speech in front of an image of Walter Reed Middle School.  What this has to do with anything, god only knows.  TPM was speculating that maybe someone was tasked to find images of Walter Reed Medical Center.  But if you do a google image search for “Walter Reed”, the middle school is not on the first pages.

I guess maybe the McCain camp has a saboteur in their midst?

Say what you will about McCain, at least he’s making it entertaining.

It’s Monday.  What else can I say?

You’ve got to love political advertising.  You don’t have to worry about facts anymore, you just have to make assertions. (Thankfully, some idiot named McCain wrote a law that would clean up malicious and deceptive advertising by adding the line “I’m so-and-so and I approved this message” to all official campaign ads.  Glad to see that worked.)

Whatever happened to that $200 million that Alaska got for that bridge?  Sarah Palin gave it back, right?  No.  Hm… Oh well, she’s still a maverick.  A maverick that keeps the earmark money and then rails against it.

By the way, that movie sucked.
