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.

I think that is exactly what thye meant, give or take an adjective or two.

Everybody knows NASCAR is redneck, though refined folks sometimes like to indulge.

Nascar is a pretty tricky sport to understand.

LOL! "Am I goin' straight enough?"

"Go straighter!"
