Is there a proofer in the house?

So, it turns out that nice green lawn that floated behind McCain during part of his speech is the front lawn at Walter Reed. Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California that is. Looks like someone made a mistake with that image selection.
With all the money and effort that goes into these campaigns, I am amazed when something like this happens. Another example would be the stupendously silly pre-presidential seal that the Obama campaign trotted out (it only lasted one appearance in public). How hard is it to give these things a sanity check?

More than that, remember that this is the GOP, and the McCain team, at its best. This was their attempt to paint themselves in the very best possible light; this is what they look like when they’re trying to show us what they’re capable of. They had complete control of everything that night - no Democratic opposition, no budget constraints, an absolutely free hand to do everything just their way, and months to prepare, under the most favorable circumstances they will ever see. And they still fucked up the simplest things - and in a very significant way: it wasn’t a “technical glitch”; it wasn’t an unforseeable slip; it was planned, deliberately executed, ignorant, and incompetent.
What are they going to do if they’re ever given control of something that actually matters?
