Noted Pundit Dok's Girlfriend has died. She was a sweet, sweet lady whom he brought to the dark side. I'll let Dok put her commenter name here if it's appropriate, but you knew her and she was your and our friend. Be extra nice to Dok today please, as if you all aren't every day. [Dok here: Thank you so much, Rebecca. In the comments, which we do not allow, she was "Shastakoala," and she occasionally worried that people would mistakenly think the pun was how she thought "cola" is spelled. Then I'd remind her this is Wonkette after all.]
We love you all.
