Will the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror tonight (8 EST) do the election?
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 07:48 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
The ads I have seen for tonight's Simpsons feature only two segments, which makes me wonder what the third is.


One of the finest pieces of American political satire was the Clinton/Dole segment from the 1996 Treehouse of Horror.

(The episode where Sideshow Bob ran for mayor as a Republican was even sharper.)

1. I believe they are...
... and didn't it already leak? There's a piece floating around on YouTube of Homer trying to vote for Obama, then getting eaten by the electronic voting machine.

3. Treehouse of Horror VII is the greatest episode of TV EVER
with the greatest Simpsons line EVER...

4. Remember the one when the aliens took over? and Homer said. don't blame me I voted for the other one
it was pretty funny

wrong, because it implied that Bush and Gore would end up doing the same thing once in office, but funny

8. LOL! I just saw it on TV, the opening of the show. It's been posted here before,

but Fox asked it to be removed from youtube.
