GOP ought to declare War on Error

It no jocke! Despite the hapless Republicans being roused these last few days by the fiery, fuehrery speeches of "Sarah Barracuda" Palin and John "Bushmastered" McCain et al., the GOP still finds ways to embarrass itself at its own convention to the delight of the world.

For instance, Sen. McCain appeared before a giant photo of what his campaign apparently thought was Walter Reed Army Medical Center, site of a shocking exposé of poor living conditions for wounded veterans that subsequently turned into a cleanup effort/photo-op for Pres. Bush and the Republicans.


Unfortunately, the building shown in the massive picture is actually Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California. Oopsies. (TPM additionally notes that the building was used by West Wing too; a brilliantly subtle jab at Obama then? Doubtful...)

The bumblin', stumblin' Team Magoo have also taken to using the Heart song "Barracuda" at events but apparently forgot to ask the band's permission. Heart's decidedly Democratic members have since had a cease and desist notice issued to the McCain/Palin camp.
