a spitwad ???
That evening, observing Kobun's behaviors, I had the feeling of being angry with him on behalf of Steve, his host and most excellent student. But within hours I thought better of it. The chewy hidden center inside both Kobun's and Steve's power was never something I could stand up for, because both regularity exploited people. So when it came down to the two of them, Steve won by doing nothing and owning everything, as Kobun spun out of control with challenges that had all the impact of a spitwad blown from the lofty heights of the peanut gallery.

I would like to know what does "a spitwad" mean? Thanks.
