Wonderment Over Kaloogian

Nell makes an excellent comment regarding Tristero's post over at Digby's regarding Kaloogian's geography (comment reproduced here):
Here's what puzzles me: Kaloogian's background is Armenian. A ton of Californians, presumably many voters in his district, are of Armenian heritage. There's enormous, justifiable sensitivity in those households and communities to all things Turkish.

And yet someone on his staff put up a picture from suburban Istanbul, with Turkish signs clearly visible, and thought no one in the district would notice it's not from Baghdad? I can't believe someone from Kaloogian's office didn't spot it.
Very good point, Nell!

Makes me think his campaign crew just doesn't have their act together. Given the high-quality of Photoshopped material these days, we are fortunate that this was such a botched, amateurish job.
