Spell Check Strikes Again

A news story about the California budget legislation quoted the Lt. Gov. as saying:

And then, when you have recalescent Republicans that have taken a no new tax pledge and seem to really just want to throw this state, and the nation, into chaos and further decline in the economy.

Looks like the spell checker turned recalcitrant into recalescent, which is an interesting word in and of itself, having to do with the glow that steel gives off as it cools.
