This is short, but worthy of a diary, because we all need a little chuckle to start our day. In the stock photo array behind Senator McCain last night, there was a photo of a large building that no one could identify. It turns out to be Walter Reed, but not the hospital. It's the Walter Reed Middle School in Hollywood, California.
Want proof? Look at the photos posted by Talking Points Memo this morning.
It's unmistakable.
Clearly, someone said "Hey, let's have a photo of Walter Reed Army Hospital behind the senator while he's speaking. They might forget he's been injured in the service of our country, and need a visual reminder!"
Well, the person who put the photos together found a picture of Walter Reed, alright, but that ain't the right Walter Reed.
Stock photo hunting: you're doing it wrong!
What low-level intern did they staff that out to?
Just a little chuckle for you this morning....have a great Friday, everyone!
Update: let's try posting the photos.....
First, the picture from last night, with McCain in front giving his speech:
Now here's a photo of Walter Reed Middle School:
Now, here's the REAL Walter Reed Army Medical Center:
Un. Be. Lievable!
