Dumb and Dumber

As if not knowing the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite weren't bad enough. Or not understanding the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Or not comprehending that the Anbar Awakening happened before the Bush-McCain troop surge. Or being for the “bridge to nowhere” before being against it. Now the McCain-Palin campaign confused the Walter Reed Army Medical Center with a middle school in suburban Los Angeles. Yikes! These people are asking the American public to let them run the country?

Staff at a California school were scratching their heads on Friday after their facility mysteriously appeared as a backdrop during John McCain's Republican Convention speech.

A giant image of Walter Reed Middle School in the Los Angeles suburb of North Hollywood was one of several pictures projected onto a backdrop at the Republican Convention on Thursday as McCain addressed delegates.

But Walter Reed Middle School's principal Donna Tobin said in a statement that use of the school's image had come as a surprise.

"It has been brought to the school's attention that a picture of the front of our school, Walter Reed Middle School, was used as a backdrop at the Republican National Convention," Tobin said.

"Permission to use the front of our school for the Republican National Convention was not given by our school nor is the use of our school's picture an endorsement of any political party or view."
