Difference between revisions of "George H. W. Bush (character)"

'''George H.W. Bush''' is a former president that appeared in the episodes "[[Rosebud]]", "[[Miss Lisa Goes to Washington]]", and "[[Two Bad Neighbors]]". In "Miss Lisa Goes to Washington", he is shown during his presidency where he commended a sting operation that resulted in the arrest of Congressman Bob Roberts for corruption and bribery. He was later seen in "Rosebud" where he was attending the birthday party of Mr. Burns, only to be told himself and [[Jimmy Carter]] are not invited as they are one-termers. Bush the Elder did not have any speaking lines in "Rosebud". George H. Bush and his wife, Barbara moved to Springfield  because they wanted to live somewhere where people do not care about politics and found out that Springfield had the lowest voter turnout. Although Bush gets along well with [[Ned Flanders]], Bart is a nuisance. Bart's annoyances result in the destruction of Bush's memoirs, which an enraged Bush gives Bart a spanking as punishment. Upon learning of the spanking, Homer attempts different pranks to get back at Bush, resulting in a fight. The episode ended with a fistfight with Homer Simpson that starts in the sewer and ends up above the street. George apologized for spanking Bart in front of Mikhail Gorbechav despite explaining that he couldn't show weakness in front of the Russians. Immediately afterwards, he told Barbara that they were leaving the town. Barbara, who got along well with [[Marge Simpson]], apologized for having to leave. Bush's house is soon bought by [[Gerald Ford]], who instantly connects with Homer over their clumsiness, and love of football, beer, and nachos.
