I love the NY Times' hidden elitist gems
Under an image of Eliot Spitzer at a Nascar race, they have the following caption...
"Eliot Spitzer, the Ivy League Upper East Sider with the reputation for a hyperkinetic braininess, indulged his other side at a Nascar race Sunday." What does that mean, "his other side"? His "other side" being a dumb-ass- hick-bridge-and-tunnel type? You would have to believe that's what the editors (or caption writer) thinks Nascar fans are. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. http://www.nytimes.com/ http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/14/ny...pitzer.html?hp |

Nascar is a pretty tricky sport to understand.
