Some of that insanity has rubbed off--Harkin has joined the "Nanny State" crowd, and has the world's favorite ogre, Shrek, on his target list.
Senator Tom Harkin wants Shrek to shape up.
The Iowa Democrat is criticizing the producers of the new movie "Shrek the Third" for allowing the green ogre to promote snack food, candy and other products.
Harkin, a proponent of decreasing childhood obesity, sent a letter to Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of DreamWorks Animation, Shrek's creator, objecting to the movie's commercial partnerships promoting snack and junk foods.
Yaaarraagghh!!!!
Hat tip to Peoria Pundits.
