That's Gov. Crist: C-R-I-S-T
Through no fault of his own, Florida's new governor is having a tiny bit of trouble with separation of church and state. Gov. Charlie Crist's Web site briefly referred to his aides as the "Christ Team." The misspelling was quickly corrected. And in fairness, some Florida newspapers have also mistakenly referred to Governor Christ.

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
When the founding fathers promised the separation of church and state, they may not have realized how hard it would be for Charlie Crist. He's governor of Florida, and his last name is spelled C-R-I-S-T. But a page in the governor's Web site accidentally spelled it Christ. It referred to the governor's aides as the Christ team. The governor's staff corrected this mistake, and in fairness some Florida newspapers have also mistakenly referred to Governor Christ.
It's MORNING EDITION.
