Virginian Pilot Misses Joe Stalin ... err... Gene Nichol

There are still quite a few people in Russia that miss Joe Stalin. And in this precinct of reality there are many who miss Gene Nichol, recently departed President of William and Mary. Joe Stalin departed on God’s initiative; Gene’s departure was occasioned by the W&M’s Board of Visitors decision not to renew his contract. Gene departed in a snit, not a coffin but like Uncle Joe, he is well gone.

But he is mourned, and nowhere more heartily than on the editorial pages of the Virginian Pilot, which today mourns once again that the Forces of Darkness, those cursed blacks hats that waged a “conservative culture war” against Saint Gene whose only desire was to “open the campus.” Which he did by dissing it’s Christian community by deeming the symbol of their faith on display in their church so divisive that it had to be put in a closet lest it offend the unbelievers.

He also opened the campus to the thought police so prevalent on other campuses like Duke, where “enlightened” faculty and students tried to railroad the lacrosse team for a crime they did not commit. So Gene Nichol decided that the way to “open the campus” was to institute a way for students to snitch on each other if they felt dissed in any way. From the speech code:

There is a certain amount of satisfaction you get from hearing Liberals whine. Especially if those liberals are the MSM and will soon be losing their jobs. The Virginian Pilot is up for sale and one prospective buyer is Pat Robertson
