I love that gopher. He's funny. I wouldn't rate him so much a panderer, though, as I would an annoying, but relatively harmless, prankster. As a troll, I would compare him to the DUhmmies from the DU who like to come over here and start threads, knowing they're gonna get zotted, but they are a nice diversion, a fun target and make for some hilarious threads.

Trying to lighten it up by spoofing a specific recent troll situation is a way to keep the weight of Terri's fight from squashing me flat. Obviously Dean isn't trolling here, but he sure has said some things that sound like he's pandering to the "right-to-die" crowd. Other than that, Dean is comic relief in and of himself.
