Obits for Orrin Hatch are ... wrong

So many obits for Orrin Hatch are so over-the-top praiseworthy. He was a genuinely horrible man, but I suppose the general rule is that obits are nice no matter how much evil someone did in life. So, taking that to the logical extreme ....

BERLIN, April 30, 1945 -- Adolf Hitler, the charismatic leader of the German Reich, is dead, the apparent victim of a firearms accident.

Mr. Hitler, 56, led his nation from the economic devastation of the first world war to becoming Europe's leading military and economic power. So successful were his efforts that many nations chose to surrender their sovereignty to become member states of the greater Reich ....

And so on ....

worst government representation without worries that they were traitors trying to kill us and overthrow our country. Give me a good Orrin Hatch or Wilbur Hayes story any time over Traitor Greene, Cawthorn et al.
