Why was McCain standing in front of a giant picture of Hilton Hotel during his speech last night?

What IS that building. Look at how much green lawn there is.

Was McCain getting ready to shout "STAY OFF MY LAWN"?

Was he TRYING to help people photoshop his sorry ass last night by being in front of green once again?

Was there a slide show during his speech? At least it'd keep people more awake.

Jesus, it looks like the opening shots from the 70's tv show Dynasty.

:wtf:

5. From many camera shots, he was standing in front of nothing ...
It would appear that not all cameras were set to work with a chroma key wall. Ooops.

Some dumb flunky was probably told to get an image of Walter Reed. Epic Fail.

9. Speaking of 80s nighttime soaps, a bit of music used in his video
sounded nearly exactly like the Dallas theme.

Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 08:46 AM by Boz
I dont think they realized it, because of the slow pace of it. Funnier if they did.

22. I didn't mean it as mockery - that's what I thought it was...

I feel badly for John McCain to a large extent.

19. I was wondering about that - It looks a lot like the old main building of my high school
A 1920s vintage California school building.
