Eggcorn?

[Mark Peters]

This one has a nice sleazy ring to it: "in and out itself."

  In fact, any city where Aceveda can be on the City Council and a serious candidate for mayor is pretty scary in and out itself.

  The fact is that the Adelphia scandal has made family ownership a risk in and out itself for many investors.

  Then, once one makes their way past the walls, one comes face-to-face with a statue that is, in and out itself, almost more grand then the entire city of Camelot.

  What do you mean? Make a PHP Stat hack? Now THAT would be a feat in and out itself.

  But is it an eggcorn? Or just a preposterous goof?
