History

Fed up with the polticians and media in town due to Springfield's having the first Presidential primary, the customers of Moe's Tavern decided to spite them by starting a write-in campaign for a completely ridiculous candidate. Apu suggested Dennis Kucinich, which drew a cry of protest from Kucinich since he was in the crowd of customers. Apu quickly apologized to him, and the customers settled on Ralph Wiggum as their write-in candidate.

Behind the Laughter
