Suggestions for improving the article

I would like to know the names of the actors who did the voices of George Bush, Barbara Bush, and Gerald Ford.68.64.164.113 15:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Despite the hype over the appearance of George and Barbara Bush in this episode, they were actually voiced by cast members Harry Shearer and Tress MacNeille. Dan Castellaneta voiced Gerald Ford. This is actually the second appearance for Barbara Bush, although in the earlier cameo in Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington, she was voiced by Maggie Roswell and showed off the Presidential bathroom.

Cultural references

This will be added back if reliable sources are found. --TheLeftorium 19:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • When Bush's memoirs are destroyed a fragment of paper with "V.P. Quayle...embarrassment" briefly crosses the screen.
  • Grampa saying he was spanked by Grover Cleveland on two non-consecutive occasions is a reference to Grover Cleveland serving two non-consecutive terms as US president.
  • Bush says that he will ruin Homer "like a Japanese banquet", a reference to an incident that happened on January 6, 1992, when - during a state dinner - then-president Bush vomited into the lap of then-Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichi Miyazawa.
  • After receiving an apology for spanking Bart, Homer demands that Bush apologize for the tax hike, a reference to Bush's infamous broken promise No New Taxes.
  • According to DVD commentary, the writers intended the line "It's your sons: George Bush Jr. and Jeb Bush" to highlight Homer's stupidity and were unaware that George H.W. Bush actually had a son named George, who, at the time of this episode's premiere, was governor of Texas.
  • The part of George H. W. Bush writing his memoir, only be destroyed by Bart Simpson is a joking reference to the fact that Bush does not intend to write his memoir.
  • The scene where Bart wakes George up by blowing into the
    alpenhorn and knocking it over references German chancellor Helmut Kohl
    who gave Bush the alpenhorn as a gift.
  • Bill Clinton was on the cover of the Newsweek magazine George was reading at the time he says "They're roasting the new guy". At the time the episode aired, Clinton was finishing his first term as president.
  • Mikhail Gorbachev was seen at the Bushes, which prompted Homer to say "You brought some of your commie friends to fight dirty" was a reference to Gorbachev's role in the Cold War.


Gorbachev Quote?

Near the end of the episode, Gorbachev says something to his driver in Russian. Does anyone know what he is saying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.71.117.126 (talk) 00:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
