A malaprop, I say. Here’s a bunch more random transmogrifications, from the deep archives.

She did have more executive experience than President Obama did before he took the office of the presidency. So the jerry is still out on whether executive experience is a necessity to the job… Most of the bad press Palin has gotten comes from a highly sexist attitude toward politics; and she is not the first woman politician to be snowballed in this manner… On her own merits Palin is too conservative minded to garnish my support; While the treatment she received was sexist and wrong, the damage has already bend done and she is not electable.

I do not know why this atrocity occurred. Perhaps still some grudge against R’Tani, who first left their ambassadors to the vicinitudes of the enemy a decade ago. Perhaps they just wanted to make a point.

BTW, also from the deep: Garner is a metathesis from granary! Garnish is from same root as warn, and used to mean something like “gird”, before it became “embellish food”. The warn connection is still present in the form of “garnished wages,” which are anything but a flourish added to your paycheck.
