Ivory Tory

In a dumbass column any neocon hack could write -- and has been writing for decades -- Gerry Nicholls commits a delicious tpyo.

Question 3 in 'Take the Cultural Elitist Test' is, or was:
- Do you live or work in an Ivory Tory, completely isolated from any sense of reality?

Good thing I took a screen-shot.



Checked back a while later and it had been changed.
- Do you live or work in an Ivory Tower, completely isolated from any sense of reality?

But really, when you think about it, who is more completely isolated from any sense of reality than an Ivory Tory?

This may well be Freudian slip Typo of the Month.

Psst, Twitterverse: Ya think we can get #IvoryTory to trend?

ADDED: Yay! I figured out how to get a cached page. (OK, I know, not difficult, but I am TechnoDolt.)

Good to know that at least some of the right-wing media don't believe their own nonsense. At least subconsciously.

Oh my, you can't get a more delicious Freudian slip. Tories are predominantly male (tower/phallic symbol) and white (ivory as opposed to ebony - h/t Michael Jackson). The media is notorious for being more than in their pocket. Heh heh heh.
