The Valley Connection at the RNC Convention















Dear RNC '08 -- I am sad you are over. Thanks for teh lulz.

from Wonkette:

America laughed again last night as a terrible “green screen” once again appeared behind John McCain, during his big speech at the RNC.

Well, the “green” was actually the lawn of a school in North Hollywood, California. And the school is called “Walter Reed Middle School.” And the random idiot assigned the task of picking John McCain’s video background during the biggest speech of his career was apparently told to put a picture of Walter Reed Army Medical Center on the screen, and ineptly googled this utterly random California school picture, instead. And nobody knows what Walter Reed Hospital looks like, anyways, so everybody just assumed it was another one of his mansions. The school is about to release “a statement” damning McCain for inappropriately using the picture of this innocent school. All of this, as Josh Marshall notes, is exactly what happened in the movie Spinal Tap.



[Update -- Here's the statement from Donna Tobin, the principal of Walter Reed Middle School...]

"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. 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."

*****************

OMG John McCain should be prosecuted for using the picture of my middle school as a background !!!!! I attended Walter Reed middle school, now my life has been ruined and my whole education is worthless !!!!!!!!

We all need to revolt against John McCain for ruining the reputation and education of every student who ever attended Walter Reed !!!!! Can you imagine how the innocent students have been traumatized by this unconscionable and vile use of the school photograph? The school will probably need to provide life long counseling and therapy for this act!!!!

What gives John McCain the right to render my whole life useless, I am so damn mad - F*CK Jon McCain he needs to be tortured for what he did to my life !!!!!!!!!

School goes from backdrop to center stage

John McCain accepts the Republican Party presidential nomination in St. Paul, Minn., on Thursday as a 50-foot-wide photo of Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood is shown behind him.

After appearing as a backdrop during John McCain's acceptance speech, Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood basks in the glory.

By Bob Pool, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
September 6, 2008

It was an unexpected burst of glory, and the 1,600 students at Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood were basking in it Friday.

None of the youngsters knew for certain why a 50-foot-wide image of the front of their school was projected Thursday night behind Sen. John McCain as he accepted the Republican Party presidential nomination. But there were plenty of theories.

Valley Doll, now that Sarah Palin is off limits to answer any questions from the press (the evil liberal media!), and the GOP spin machine is working overtime trying to waterproof their Leaking Lena boat of a campaign ticket, and trying like hell to keep anyone from mentioning that GW and McBush swim with the same school of fish, I guess the public will just have to scratch up their own info.

It seems the Republicans have gone back to the Obama as elitist, and now "uppity" from a Republican House Member.

From John Ritter at the Huff Post

"If you're a black man and you use a scholarship to get into college, then work your way up to being the president of the Harvard Law Review, you're "uppity." If you're a conservative and your parents pay your way to Hawaii Pacific University . . . you only have four more schools to attend over the next five years before you somehow manage to graduate (it might be five more schools over the next five years. No one has yet verified whether or not Palin was actually ever registered at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. But, you know how shady people are who ever attended any kind of school in Hawaii)."

Ouch!

Valley Dull must be proud to have the multiple personality menso Don Quackers in her corner. I wonder if Valley Dull knows her good friend is one sick F*CK.

Don Quackers please explain why you call African-Americans "mayates", "chanates" and "changos".

Hey Don Q. you remember who said this…..

“the shooting death of 3 year old Kaitlyn Avila and these killings (including an innocent 10 year old boy while he was on the ground), what does this tell you about culero Mayates. And look at the ages of these chanates. I hope the Carnals get a shot at these changos when they hit the joint.”

Orale .....Don Quackers please us tell about your multiple personality disorder and abuleita nopales. hahahaha

Victor the Valley Dude:

Honestly, you need to chill. I wasn't harshing on John McCain. I wasn't critizing Sarah Palin.

I was mocking the random idiot assigned the task of picking John McCain’s video background during the biggest speech of his career

I mean, srsly... even tho' you are a product of LAUSD, Victor, I have every faith in your ability to correctly google a picture of Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

For fun, I asked some kids from Nobel Middle School if they could find me a pic of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center on the internet.

I asked three kids. All three kids were able to send me the correct pic.

This isn't candidate bashing -- I woulda called out the menso if this had been the DNC convention.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Chill bro.

xoxo

ps. Victor... look up the words "satire" and "snark". It will greatly reduce your stress level if you can comprehend the concepts.

It's pretty ironic that Valley Dud would chastise anybody for being stressed when she went all loca over Palin's comment about Obama community organizing.

Valley Dull read you own words about and how Pailn rendered all your "life efforts meaninless". You should learn about satire and sarcasm from the Victor Valley Dude when it's being directed at YOU. hahahaha hehehehe

Victor Valley Dude was hilarious !!
