1. KBBL talk radio.
Copy !req
2. And now Springfield's
favorite conservative
Copy !req
3. and author
of the well-selling book,
Copy !req
4. Only Turkeys Have Left Wings.
Copy !req
5. Ladies and gentlemen,
Birch Barlow.
Copy !req
6. That Barlow's
a right-wing crackpot.
Copy !req
7. He said Ted Kennedy
lacked integrity.
Copy !req
8. Can you believe that?
Copy !req
9. Yeah, switch the station.
Copy !req
10. I consider myself
politically correct,
Copy !req
11. and his views
make me uncomfortable.
Copy !req
12. No, no, no, no, guys.
Copy !req
13. Now, I'm not very political.
Copy !req
14. I usually think people who vote
Copy !req
15. are a bit fruity,
Copy !req
16. but for some reason,
Copy !req
17. this Birch Barlow
really speaks to me.
Copy !req
18. Good morning,
fellow freedom likers.
Copy !req
19. Birch Barlow, the fourth branch
of government... The 51st state.
Copy !req
20. You know, there are three things
Copy !req
21. we're never gonna get rid of
here in Springfield.
Copy !req
22. One... The bats
in the public library.
Copy !req
23. Two... Mrs. McFirley's
compost heap.
Copy !req
24. And three... Our six-term mayor,
Copy !req
25. the illiterate, tax-cheating,
wife-swapping, pot-smoking
Copy !req
26. spendocrat Diamond Joe Quimby.
Copy !req
27. Hey, I am no longer illiterate.
Copy !req
28. Now, why are we doomed
to this Quimby quagmire, you ask,
Copy !req
29. reasonable listener?
Copy !req
30. Because this town
is under the stranglehold
Copy !req
31. of a few tie-dyed tree huggers
Copy !req
32. who would rather play hacky sack
than lock up the homeless.
Copy !req
33. This sounds
awfully controversial.
Copy !req
34. Lisa, you know I don't like
controversy in this house.
Copy !req
35. I don't like him either, Mom,
Copy !req
36. but I'm doing a report on
local politics for my school project.
Copy !req
37. You think you're so big
Copy !req
38. 'cause your class
always gets to do projects.
Copy !req
39. Well, um, I'm doing
a school project on...
Copy !req
40. fireworks.
Copy !req
41. Bart, I wish you
wouldn't lie like that.
Copy !req
42. Now as a special sendoff
and a way to say
Copy !req
43. gong hei fatt choy
Copy !req
44. to our visiting
Chinese principals,
Copy !req
45. Bart Simpson has promised us
a fireworks display.
Copy !req
46. What a week.
Copy !req
47. He promised a big
firework display.
Copy !req
48. Bad student.
Copy !req
49. Uh-uh. Bad principal.
Copy !req
50. So, my friends, let's just
junk those dumbocrats
Copy !req
51. and their bleeding-heart
smellfare program.
Copy !req
52. Dad, I had to listen
to this jerk all morning.
Copy !req
53. Can we listen to something else?
Copy !req
54. When I'm driving the car,
Copy !req
55. I get to choose
the radio station.
Copy !req
56. When you're driving,
Copy !req
57. we'll listen to your
radio station.
Copy !req
58. Ooh! I can't take this anymore.
Let's switch back.
Copy !req
59. Alright, my friends,
let's go to the phones.
Copy !req
60. First up is Bob from South Springfield.
Welcome to you, sir.
Copy !req
61. Hello, Birch. Long-time
listener, first-time caller.
Copy !req
62. Kudos for bringing the public
back to the Republican Party.
Copy !req
63. It's high time people realized
we conservatives
Copy !req
64. aren't all Johnny Hatemongers
and Charlie Bible Thumps,
Copy !req
65. or even, God forbid,
George Bushes.
Copy !req
66. That sounds like Sideshow Bob!
Copy !req
67. Yes, ma'am, Sideshow Bob,
Copy !req
68. yakking it up on
the old yak box.
Copy !req
69. Dad, I'll spare you
the embarrassment
Copy !req
70. of admitting you don't know
who Sideshow Bob is.
Copy !req
71. Sideshow Bob used to be
Copy !req
72. Krusty the Clown's sidekick,
Copy !req
73. but in 1990, he framed Krusty
for armed robbery,
Copy !req
74. and Bart got him put in jail.
Copy !req
75. When he got out,
he married Aunt Selma
Copy !req
76. and tried to murder her.
Copy !req
77. Side "show" Bob.
Copy !req
78. Bart, your mortal enemy
is on the radio!
Copy !req
79. It's time for more deee-mentia
with Dr. Demento.
Copy !req
80. And now the funny five...
Copy !req
81. I meant your other mortal enemy,
Copy !req
82. Sideshow Bob.
Copy !req
83. Sideshow Bob?
Copy !req
84. I'm only ten,
Copy !req
85. and I already got
two mortal enemies.
Copy !req
86. And this proposed expressway
Copy !req
87. will bring increased commerce
to all local merchants.
Copy !req
88. What's in it for us?
Copy !req
89. Yeah. Give us
something we like,
Copy !req
90. or we'll ride you
out of town on a rail.
Copy !req
91. What do you people like?
Copy !req
92. - Sleep.
- Sexy dames, and plenty of them.
Copy !req
93. Matlock!
Copy !req
94. Well, I suppose
I could name it the...
Copy !req
95. Matlock Expressway.
Copy !req
96. But it would be
terribly myopic of me
Copy !req
97. to blame all my current woes
Copy !req
98. on one spiky-haired
little simpleton.
Copy !req
99. Myopic or,
to say the least, intransigent.
Copy !req
100. You mentioned some woes there.
Copy !req
101. Well, you see, Birch,
I'm presently incarcerated...
Copy !req
102. Convicted of a crime
I didn't even commit.
Copy !req
103. "Attempted murder."
Copy !req
104. Now, honestly, what is that?
Copy !req
105. Do they give a Nobel Prize
for attempted chemistry? Do they?
Copy !req
106. Really now,
this is a personal call!
Copy !req
107. My-my-my friends,
isn't this just typical?
Copy !req
108. Another intelligent
conservative here
Copy !req
109. railroaded by our
liberal justice system
Copy !req
110. just like...
Copy !req
111. Colonel Oliver North,
Officer Stacy Koon,
Copy !req
112. and cartoon smokesperson
Joe Camel.
Copy !req
113. Well, I've had it.
Copy !req
114. I am going to make it
my mission to see
Copy !req
115. that our friend Bob is set free.
Copy !req
116. No!
Copy !req
117. Well, despite Bart's objections,
the people of South Africa
Copy !req
118. can now vote in free
democratic elections.
Copy !req
119. My friends,
Bob is a political prisoner.
Copy !req
120. I want every loyal listener
to do everything they can
Copy !req
121. to get him out of jail.
Copy !req
122. All right, you heard the man.
Copy !req
123. One grenade each.
Copy !req
124. Moe, I think he meant
Copy !req
125. through nonviolent,
grassroots political action.
Copy !req
126. Jeez, really?
You think so?
Copy !req
127. All right, give them back.
Copy !req
128. Come on, everybody,
give 'em back.
Copy !req
129. Hey. Hey!
Copy !req
130. Who pulled the pin on this one?
Copy !req
131. Very well.
Copy !req
132. If that is the way
the winds are blowing,
Copy !req
133. let no one say
I don't also blow.
Copy !req
134. Free Bob!
Copy !req
135. By special order
of the mayor of Springfield,
Copy !req
136. you are hereby granted
a full and complete pardon.
Copy !req
137. Congratulations,
Robert Underdunk Terwilliger.
Copy !req
138. Boat's on the other side.
Copy !req
139. Yes. Thank you.
Copy !req
140. Hail, brothers.
Copy !req
141. Coranon Silaria.
Copy !req
142. Ozoo Mahoke.
Copy !req
143. Mahoke. Mahoke.
Copy !req
144. Now then, gentlemen,
the mayoral campaign is upon us,
Copy !req
145. and if we hope to defeat
this Joe Quimby,
Copy !req
146. we need a candidate with name
recognition and media savvy...
Copy !req
147. A true leader who will do
exactly as he's told.
Copy !req
148. Monty, I'm way ahead of you.
Copy !req
149. If you'll just open that door,
Copy !req
150. you'll see the next
mayor of Springfield.
Copy !req
151. Very nice.
Copy !req
152. - What'd it say?
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
153. Bob. Bob, come in.
Copy !req
154. A fine Mahoke to you all.
Copy !req
155. Why, he's even better.
Copy !req
156. I agree.
Copy !req
157. I like the human touch.
Copy !req
158. Now, students,
Copy !req
159. I want you to be
on your best behavior
Copy !req
160. for this carefully
choreographed media event.
Copy !req
161. Now, this means there is to be
no wising off, no face making,
Copy !req
162. and no grass eating.
Copy !req
163. This means you, Ralph.
Copy !req
164. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
165. Hello, children.
Copy !req
166. - Hello, Bart.
- Eep.
Copy !req
167. Young friends,
Copy !req
168. my opponent, Joe Quimby,
Copy !req
169. is confused
about your school system.
Copy !req
170. Do you know what he does?
He flip-flops.
Copy !req
171. Hey, ya, hi, ya, ho, ho.
Copy !req
172. Sometimes he doesn't know
whether he's coming or going.
Copy !req
173. He wants to sell
your future short.
Copy !req
174. Bart, we can't let Bob
steal the spotlight.
Copy !req
175. We're gonna have to stoop to
the lowest common denominator.
Copy !req
176. I can do that.
Copy !req
177. Help!
Copy !req
178. I'm being attacked by, things.
Copy !req
179. Uncle Mayor was just
saying that us kids
Copy !req
180. are the most important
natural resource we have.
Copy !req
181. More important than coal?
Copy !req
182. Er, yes.
Copy !req
183. That was a big mistake, Bart.
Copy !req
184. No children
Copy !req
185. have ever meddled
with the Republican Party
Copy !req
186. and lived to tell about it.
Copy !req
187. Stay out of Riverdale.
Copy !req
188. Quimby... If you were
running for mayor, he'd vote for you.
Copy !req
189. Paid for by the Mayor Quimby
for Mayor Mayoral Committee.
Copy !req
190. Hey, four-eyes, vote Quimby.
Copy !req
191. Hey, beard-o, vote Quimby.
Copy !req
192. This time he's
the lesser of two evils.
Copy !req
193. Yeah. Yeah.
I love Grimby.
Copy !req
194. Could I have some more
bumper stickers, please, dude?
Copy !req
195. All right.
Copy !req
196. The mummy's ready
for his mystical journey.
Copy !req
197. What's happening?
Copy !req
198. That Quimby fella
promised to build us
Copy !req
199. a Matlock Expressway.
Copy !req
200. How you going to
top that, smart guy?
Copy !req
201. Well, how's this?
Copy !req
202. I'll not only build
the expressway,
Copy !req
203. I will spend the remainder
of this afternoon
Copy !req
204. patiently listening
to your interminable anecdotes.
Copy !req
205. Hot-diggity-damn!
Copy !req
206. Me first!
Copy !req
207. Not many people know
Copy !req
208. I owned the first radio
in Springfield.
Copy !req
209. Weren't much on the air then,
Copy !req
210. just Edison reciting
the alphabet
Copy !req
211. over and over.
Copy !req
212. "A," he'd say.
Copy !req
213. Then, "B."
Copy !req
214. "C" would usually follow...
Copy !req
215. Mayor Quimby supports
Copy !req
216. revolving-door prisons.
Copy !req
217. Mayor Quimby even released
Sideshow Bob,
Copy !req
218. a man twice convicted
of attempted murder.
Copy !req
219. Can you trust a man
like Mayor Quimby?
Copy !req
220. The League of Uninformed
Voters presents
Copy !req
221. the Springfield Mayoral Debates.
Copy !req
222. I'm your moderator, Larry King.
Copy !req
223. Now a word to our audience.
Copy !req
224. Even though we're being
broadcast on Fox,
Copy !req
225. there's no need for
obnoxious hooting and hollering.
Copy !req
226. I shouldn't have shaken hands
with those old people.
Copy !req
227. I hope that flu doesn't
affect his performance out there.
Copy !req
228. Don't worry. He's taken
a million of these capsules.
Copy !req
229. Sideshow Bob,
Councilman Les Whinen
Copy !req
230. says that you're not
experienced enough to be mayor.
Copy !req
231. Sir, what do you have to say
about that?
Copy !req
232. I'd say that Les Whinen
ought to do more thinking
Copy !req
233. and less whinin'.
Copy !req
234. There's no
Councilman Les Whinen.
Copy !req
235. Good line, though.
Copy !req
236. Mayor Quimby,
you are well-known, sir,
Copy !req
237. for your lenient stance
on crime,
Copy !req
238. but suppose for a second
that your house was ransacked by thugs,
Copy !req
239. your family tied up in the basement
with socks in their mouths.
Copy !req
240. You try to open the door,
Copy !req
241. but there's
too much blood on the knob...
Copy !req
242. What is your question?
Copy !req
243. My question's about
the budget, sir.
Copy !req
244. I don't agree with his
"Bart-killing policy,"
Copy !req
245. but I do approve
of his "Selma-killing policy."
Copy !req
246. Well, he framed me
for armed robbery,
Copy !req
247. but, man, I'm aching
for that upper-class tax cut.
Copy !req
248. Shh, shh.
Quiet down.
Copy !req
249. And the results are in.
Copy !req
250. For Sideshow Bob, 100%.
Copy !req
251. For Joe Quimby, 1%.
Copy !req
252. And we remind you there is
a one-percent margin of error.
Copy !req
253. All right. Let's go live
to Bob headquarters now
Copy !req
254. for Mayor Terwilliger's
victory speech.
Copy !req
255. And just look how happy he is.
Copy !req
256. It's the rapture! Quick!
Copy !req
257. Get Bart out of the house
before God comes!
Copy !req
258. So sorry, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
259. Your house is
blocking construction
Copy !req
260. of our new Matlock Expressway.
Copy !req
261. Now, I am a fair man.
Copy !req
262. You will have 72 hours
to vacate.
Copy !req
263. At the time,
we will blow up your house
Copy !req
264. and any remaining Simpsons.
Copy !req
265. Homer, we've got to stop them.
Copy !req
266. I know what you're up to,
Mayor Terwigiger,
Copy !req
267. and no one in my family's
gonna stand for it.
Copy !req
268. Move your gol'dern house, son!
Copy !req
269. Bart, by special request
Copy !req
270. to the mayor's office,
you are going to be left back.
Copy !req
271. You mean I have
to repeat the fourth grade?
Copy !req
272. Well, yes, but
not for four or five years.
Copy !req
273. Bart, you're going
to kindergarten.
Copy !req
274. Kindergarten?
Copy !req
275. Ha!
Copy !req
276. Now, boys and girls,
who knows what this is?
Copy !req
277. - Triangle.
- Very good, Bart.
Copy !req
278. You have first choice of toys
for free play.
Copy !req
279. Cool.
I call the Flintstone phone.
Copy !req
280. Yabba-dabba do.
Copy !req
281. I like talking to you.
Copy !req
282. We're going to lose our house
Copy !req
283. and end up living under a bridge
Copy !req
284. like common trolls.
Copy !req
285. I don't think Bob won
that election legally.
Copy !req
286. I can't believe
a convicted felon
Copy !req
287. would get so many votes
Copy !req
288. and another convicted felon
would get so few.
Copy !req
289. Here you go.
Copy !req
290. The results of last month's
mayoral election.
Copy !req
291. All 48,000 voters
and who each one they voted for.
Copy !req
292. I thought this
was a secret ballot.
Copy !req
293. Meh.
Copy !req
294. Okay.
Copy !req
295. Aaron A. Aaronson voted
for... Bob.
Copy !req
296. Aaron L. Aaronson voted
for... Bob.
Copy !req
297. Arthur B. Ablabab voted
for... Bob.
Copy !req
298. Hey.
Copy !req
299. So whoever
it is who wrote that note
Copy !req
300. wants to meet us here tonight?
Copy !req
301. This is so cool, Bart.
Copy !req
302. We're just like
Woodward and Bernstein.
Copy !req
303. Yeah, except their dad wasn't waiting
in the car reading Archie comics.
Copy !req
304. Stuck-up Riverdale punks
think they're too good for me.
Copy !req
305. You're on the right track.
Copy !req
306. Follow the names.
Copy !req
307. How the hell do you know?
Copy !req
308. I can't tell you who I am,
but I worked on the campaign.
Copy !req
309. Hey, Mr. Smithers!
Copy !req
310. Well, you might as well
give me a ride home now.
Copy !req
311. I've never gone behind
Mr. Burns' back before,
Copy !req
312. but Sideshow Bob's
ultra-conservative views
Copy !req
313. conflict with my choice
of lifestyle.
Copy !req
314. All I can do is give you
one name... Edgar Neubauer.
Copy !req
315. Find him,
and you'll find your answer.
Copy !req
316. No Edgar Neubauer.
Copy !req
317. This is hopeless.
They're going to demolish
Copy !req
318. our house for sure.
Copy !req
319. We're gonna have to move
into a Motel 6.
Copy !req
320. But Dad can't afford
six dollars a night.
Copy !req
321. Hey... Lise!
Copy !req
322. Lise, come here.
Copy !req
323. I found him.
Copy !req
324. I found Edgar Neubauer.
Copy !req
325. My God... The dead have risen,
Copy !req
326. and they're voting Republican.
Copy !req
327. No, Bart, don't you see?
Copy !req
328. Dead people can't vote.
Copy !req
329. Look. Prudence Goodwyfe,
died 1641.
Copy !req
330. She voted for Bob, too.
Copy !req
331. So did Buddy Holly,
Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper.
Copy !req
332. Even the pet cemetery
voted for Bob.
Copy !req
333. Look!
Mr. and Mrs. Bananas,
Copy !req
334. Humphrey Boa-gart.
Copy !req
335. My poor dead kitty.
Copy !req
336. Please, not you, too.
Copy !req
337. All right, Bob.
Copy !req
338. Now it's personal.
Copy !req
339. Hey. Um...
he did try to kill me.
Copy !req
340. Whoa!
Copy !req
341. Mr. Mayor, is it true
you rigged the election?
Copy !req
342. No, I did not.
Copy !req
343. Kids, help.
Copy !req
344. I don't mind.
Copy !req
345. We want these children to feel
justice has been served.
Copy !req
346. That way they can
sleep soundly tonight
Copy !req
347. on their hard, feculent,
motel pillows.
Copy !req
348. Well, Bart, Lisa, here I am.
Copy !req
349. I have a plan.
I think we can trap him.
Copy !req
350. You know, Sideshow Bob,
I believe you
Copy !req
351. when you say you're innocent.
Copy !req
352. Indeed, I am.
Copy !req
353. Because we all know
Copy !req
354. you're a naive pawn...
Puppet, if you will...
Copy !req
355. Of the most diabolical
political genius
Copy !req
356. Springfield has ever known.
Copy !req
357. Birchibald T. Barlow.
Copy !req
358. You don't have the intelligence
Copy !req
359. to rig an election by yourself,
do you?
Copy !req
360. You were just Barlow's lackey.
Copy !req
361. You were Ronnie to his Nancy.
Copy !req
362. Sonny to his Cher.
Copy !req
363. Ringo to his
rest of the Beatles.
Copy !req
364. Enough! Lies! Lies! Lies!
Copy !req
365. I did it!
Copy !req
366. I did it all!
Copy !req
367. There.
Copy !req
368. Is that what you want,
Copy !req
369. you smarmy little bastards?
Copy !req
370. We want the truth.
Copy !req
371. You want the truth?
Copy !req
372. You can't handle the truth.
Copy !req
373. No truth-handler, you.
Copy !req
374. Bah! I deride your
truth-handling abilities.
Copy !req
375. Will you get to the point?
Copy !req
376. Yes.
Only I could have executed
Copy !req
377. such a masterpiece
of electoral fraud
Copy !req
378. and I have the records
to prove it.
Copy !req
379. Here, just look at these.
Copy !req
380. Each one a work
of Machiavellian art.
Copy !req
381. - But why?
- Because you need me, Springfield.
Copy !req
382. Your guilty conscience
may force you to vote democratic,
Copy !req
383. but deep down inside, you secretly
long for a cold-hearted republican
Copy !req
384. to lower taxes,
brutalize criminals
Copy !req
385. and rule you like a king.
Copy !req
386. That's why I did this...
Copy !req
