Review: Hmmm... I'm torn. As an OFF-head, I thought this was a clever and funny episode, but as a political scientist, it was really awful. The political jabs were OK, but couldn't they make it even a little realistic? For example, House members don't have desks in the chamber. And why do we only see Abe when they need to make a lame joke? I give it a B-.

The question is, does Krusty remain in Congress in future episodes?

Probably only if they need him to be. Kind of like Homer working at the power plant.

Yeah, that was quite clearly the Senate chamber. (Chuckle, snort) I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

I'm less concerned about the lack of realism regarding parliamentary procedure. It's only a half-hour show; even if they knew the proper procedure, they couldn't actually show it happening.
