Wow. I actually fell asleep during his speech, toward the end. It was written poorly and just didn't possess any energy. Worst of all, there were no specifics, just some bland platitudes towards the GOP plank.

At one part, he even railed against the Republican party for a minute. Why should people vote for a Republican to be responsible after the past 8 years? That was never made clear.

All in all, the fact they screwed up the background is the best summation of the entire event:

I'm surprised this hadn't occurred to me. 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? I still have a bit of a hard time believing they're quite that incompetent. But when you figure in what appears to be the utter lack of any logic for this school being behind McCain and the fact that it has 'Walter Reed' in its name, I'm really not sure you can discount this possibility.

Brilliant.
