Washington DC--After failiing to pass a constitutional amendment that would have prohibited desecration of the American flag, Republican Senators today proposed a new amendment aimed at banning the burning of apple pies.
"The apple pie is yet another national symbol that is desecrated everyday by burning," said Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), who faces an uphill battle for reelection this year. "Unlike flag amendment, where we had to make up a flag-burning epidemic because there wasn't one, there really IS an apple pie burning epidemic."
"Um, that last remark is off the record, OK?," added the Senator.
