Idiot college presidink

From the Ace of Spades:

psy_Cho, "The Thirty-Third Victim"
—Ace
...at least according to Cornell's president:

“We are here for all of those who are gone, for all 33. We are here for the 32 who have passed from the immediate to another place, not by their own choice. We are also here for the one who has also passed.”

They are consistent -- I'll give them that. There have been previous mentions by the left of the 19 9/11 terrorists as among the dead who must be remembered.

I'd like to ask, though. Shall we begin naming Adolf Hitler as victim number 30,000,001 of Naziism?

Why not? It seems all the rage. He did, after all, shoot himself in the bunker. Isn't he a victim of his own pathologies as well?

Perhaps the Holocaust Museum can celebrate him as a victim to be honored as well. That may be a tricky one, but since we're now obliterating all distinctions between murderer and victim, why not?
