    I stand corrected...

    ...I expect you're exactly correct, kb3edk. I didn't try to research Garner's quote in depth, and the usual version you hear is of course "spit".

    My real dilemma was, should I post something that changed the word "spit" to another very familiar word that rhymes with it...I don't like to stoop that low, although you could argue that Cheney has dragged the office of VP, the White House and this whole country into the crapper right along with him.
