Doh!-ling: The Simpsons Have Some Fun with Arianna

Last night's "The Simpsons" parodied the election media circus, portraying a mock-talking heads show with a pundit that sounded a little bit like Huffington Post founder and editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington.

Did anyone catch the contrasting Democratic cabal that was located around a small coffee house table. Also, did you catch Arianna refer to the gay moderator as her ex-husband. Tooooo funny!

You. Have. Arrived!

Arianna spoofed on the Simpsons!!! In nothing sacred? Must all of the country's institutions bear the brunt of a liberal media attack?

It actually gets worse. Check out what has been done to President Limbaugh.

I was bummed Arianna didn't do herself.

As well I really loved the Republican Party headquarters, that was hilarious. A castle on the outskirts of town at the edge of a cliff and all dark with lightning and effects.

That was freaking hilarious.

I watched that last night, but couldn't tell who they were spoofing...

A-ha-ha-ha!!!! Good one, fishsandchipsrwhatever! And thanks for fighting courageously for your country in Iraq!!

[EricSchmeltzer]

Yeah, but we also got confirmation that Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby is a Democrat (he was at the table). Ummmmm don't know if that's good or bad, though. But we got the Bee!

Please replay it soon Matt!

I watched that last night. It was pretty funny. "We've got Alec Baldwin. You've got Stephen Baldwin. You might as well not even have a Baldwin."

At first I thought "Hey, why are they taking digs at Arianna?"

But then I thought maybe it was because Arianna is one of the most recognizable figure on the Liberal side of the media, which is most likely to be the reason they lampooned her, in my opinion.

All that aside, I found the episode very funny and you got to love that the Springfield Republicans meet in a creepy looking castle where it is always storming... and evil Mr. Burns is always there.

they forgot Arianna's OBAMA button on her jacket

[CARTERJ]

Very funny, dahling, but not nearly divine enough.

[GoodGuysandBadGuys]

that was the best new simpsons episode in a while.

Assless Chaps? Can't they come up with a better gay joke than that? Maybe they'll get some new writers after the strike.
