MR. GREGORY: I'd like to ask you about this developing story. As you know, President Obama personally apologized to President Karzai for this apparently inadvertent act of burning the Qurans. What's your reaction to that and to the unfolding situation there?
FMR. SEN. SANTORUM: I don't think the president should apologize for something that was clearly inadvertent. What you should lay out is the president saying this was inadvertent. This was a mistake and there was no deliberate act, there was no meant to disrespect. This was something that, that occurred that, that should not have occurred, but it was an accident and leave it at that. I think you highlight it when you, when you apologize for it. You, you make it sound like it was something that you should apologize for. And there is not--there was no act that needed an apology. It was an inadvertent act and it should be left at that and I think the response has--needs to be apologized for by, by Karzai and the Afghan people of, of attacking and killing our men and women in uniform and, and overreacting to this, to this inadvertent mistake. That, that is, that is the real crime here, not what our soldiers did.
A little late to be reviving that old maxim after Bush? Ah, a 'blame Democrats, not blame Bush' moment.

I love it when assholes set benchmarks like this. Something that can be used to measure past and future behaviors of others, including the asshole who set the benchmark.
So if someone accidentally crashes their car into Mrs. Santorum's car and kills his wife and entire family, they should call Rick and tell him, "It was an inadvertent act and it should be left at that. Any apology would be overreacting."
