As Hogfan apologized to the world for George W. Bush, so I will apologize to the United States of America on behalf of Pennsylvania for Rick Santorum's ill-chosen words at the National Press Club.

And also to the Islamic World which he has labeled as fascist.

We promise to take care of the Junior Senator from Pennsylvania in November.

Excerpts from Sen. Rick Santorum's appearance at the National Press Club in Washington yesterday:

"Islamic fascism is the great test of this generation."

"Hardly anyone took Mein Kampf seriously, and when Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe on the table at the U.N., announcing, 'We will bury you,' it was widely treated here in the U.S. as a moment of comic relief."

"To their shame, the bureaucrats have broken the law by revealing classified information to some in the media. And also, to their shame, some members of the media have put American lives at greater risk by publishing their secrets."

"I believe the only way to change the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to change the regime itself."

"Iraq was an important threat to the United States based upon the information we had at the time, much of which turned out not to be true, but much of which has."
