I couldn’t resist sharing…

This has been popping up on a lot of blogs, but I couldn't resist sharing... A Stephen Colbert-puppet rant on Jenny McCarthy, from The Rant Puppets.

Writer Robert W. Cabell alleges that Adam Sandler's latest movie, Don't Mess with the Zohan, is derived from his comic book The Hair-Raising Adventures of Jayms Blonde and his 2007 novel of the same name.
