The Simpsons Political Party, Vol. 2
|
 |
Description
As the election for mayor of Springfield draws near, right-wing radio talk show host Birch Barlow (any resemblance to Rush Limbaugh is not a coincidence) targets six-term "illiterate, tax-cheating, wife-swapping, pot-smoking spendocrat" Diamond Joe Quimby. Barlow orchestrates the pardon from prison of none other than Bart's mortal enemy. No, it's not Dr. Demento (who cameos, as, inexplicably, do classic comic book characters Archie, Jughead, Reggie, and Moose, who warn Homer to "stay out of Riverdale"); it's Sideshow Bob (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) whom the Republican Party runs against Quimby. When Bart interferes, Sideshow Bob warns, "No children have ever meddled with the Republican Party and lived to tell about it." This video also contains "Trash of the Titans," featuring the voice of Steve Martin as Ray Patterson, Springfield's Sanitation Commissioner, who is ousted from office after Homer runs on a platform of "Can't someone else do it?" For the youngsters, there's a musical appearance by Irish rockers U2. --Donald Liebenson
