Josh Marshall over at TPM amusingly points out the funny circumstances surrounding the picture behind McCain as he gave his speech last night. He writes in part:
But several readers have suggested that perhaps one of the tech geeks charged with setting up the audio/visual bells and whistles for the evening was tasked with getting pictures of Walter Reed Army Medical Center but goofed and got this instead. At first I thought, No, that’s ridiculous. This is a major political party with big time professionals putting this together. Nothing is left to chance. I mean, is this the RNC or a scene out Spinal Tap or Waiting for Guffman?
Me, I find the mental image of a miniature Stonehenge rising from the RNC stage to be danced around by colorfully-clad gnomes to the the most amusing of the convention season. The speech itself most certainly did not go to eleven.
