Nick Frost’s (“Shaun of the Dead”) portly and shameless ladies man, Dr. Dave, consistently cracks jokes...
...campaign for both Republican and Democratic candidates in next year's midterm elections. And late last month, in a rare oversight hearing of the Obama Administration, he examined the legality of the President's so-called czars - a favorite bone of contention of Fox News' Glenn Beck and talk radio's Rush Limbaugh.(See pictures of the Fort Hood memorial service...
