Hatch to Google: I'm not dead, here's proof
The Hill ^ | 07/24/18 | Judy Kurtz

Posted on 07/24/2018 6:55:47 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Orrin Hatch wants the world to know he’s very much alive after a Google search results snafu had declared the 84-year-old Utah Republican dearly departed.

On Monday night, Hatch’s office pointed out the news of the senator’s “death” via the search engine. Pulling from a faulty Wikipedia entry, Google had declared that Hatch passed away last September.

Matt Whitlock, Hatch's spokesman, tells ITK, “When Sen. Hatch first heard of his passing he was quite alarmed. Having advanced four major bills last night he was surprised to hear that he may have been dead the whole time.”

Hatch’s office tweeted out a proof of life series to make the case that their boss was far from expired.

A change of a Wikipedia entry is not a 'snafu'. Someone had to change the Wikipedia entry or manipulate the algorithm.

Is this more proof Google, Wikipedia, and liberals are manipulating searches?

So Hatch is alive but reported dead.
And McCain is not reported dead and might not even be alive.

Good goin’ there, media.

Hatch made that speech praising Trump, but he voted against the immigration proposal, because it was too strict!

Orrin Hatch is one of those guys who stayed way too long in DC.

I recall a time back in the 80’s when the Democrats used his name in campaign fundraising appeals, ex: “Imagine if Orrin Hatch ever becomes chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee...”, blah, blah, blah. That usually indicates that a person is anathema to the Dems - and conversely someone we’d wanna support. But no more, it seems.

Maybe it’s not the length of his service but the fact he has gotten old and maybe the partisan fire is no longer there. But in his last two terms in the Senate, he’s become a lot more passive and somewhat more willing to schmooze with the Dems in the Senate.

Obviously Romney is not the ideal person to replace Hatch. We can only hope that the rank and file GOP activists can continue to keep Romney’s feet held to the fire.

Hey! Jeff Sessions works very hard. Yesterday he had both a foot bath AND a pedicure.

No, it is proof that people can edit Wikipedia and that Google reports what is listed at Wikipedia.

Boy, Willy Nelson sure looks a lot older than 48, but I guess smoking a couple pounds of dope a day takes it’s toll.
