Unspellchecked

Unspellchecked - I finally made it out to the Air America website - while I still can, if the news from LA and Chi is any indication.

I got as far as the page for "Unfiltered" - featuring Lizzzzz Winstead, Chuck D and Kirk Cameron.

This caught my eye, empasis added:

This uncompromising program puts politics and culture through the ringer, uncensored and unfiltered.

Ringer? As in, substitute player? I suppose it'd be possible for a stand-in to eat some policitics and culture and have Lizzzzz Winstead waiting with a baggie on the other end of the alimentary canal. But I suspect the word they were looking for is wringer, the dual-roller contraption that "wrings" water from wet clothes. I suspect that's the metaphor they were looking for.

I thought liberals were the educated ones?

UPDATE: I'm told the person in the photo at the top of the Unfiltered page is not, in fact, Kirk Cameron, but is in fact:

Rachel Maddow, a rabblerousing broadcaster with a doctorate in politics from the University of Oxford.

Hm. Apparently she's a rabble-rousing PhD who can't be bothered to read her own promotional copy.
