In the November 12 episode of Fox’s The Simpsons Marge Simpson decides to run for Mayor of Springfield after being the victim of Mayor Quimby’s misogynist attitude. In order to boost her polling numbers, no shot is left untaken by her campaign.

Attending a town hall meeting, Marge asks a question about a recent monorail disaster with which the town is coping. The mayor said that Springfield surpassed Detroit and Kabul as the unluckiest city in the world. Marge asks why tiny wedges were not placed under the monorail’s wheels when it was retired. The mayor tells Marge that “running a city is a little more complicated than getting your nails done” and “not to worry your pretty little head” about it. Naturally Marge is angry about his dismissive tone and is convinced to run against him.

Marge soon is out campaigning and taking her consultant’s advice to heart: “Tell them what they want to hear until you get 51% then you can govern like a far-right nut job” was her advice. Marge is seen talking to a hillbilly family and the man of the family is holding a copy of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. Marge’s words – said in a country accent – remind him of Ayn Rand’s writing so Marge sees her success. She continues to tell each audience what she thinks they want to hear.

Except for that teen with that voice, I thought the episode was pretty good. How many more episodes before we get a break from him?
Take care and God bless

i think you are reaching too hard - they were making fun of ALL politicians, maybe you are just taking it personally because your guy is just "telling the people what they want to hear".
