That episode, and the cold open from another episode where Bart says: "Hey, we're just like the Waltons: we're waiting for an end to the depression too." were both in reaction to Bush's statement that American families on television should be "more like the Walton's and less like the Simpson's."

Bush's comments were pure conservative BS of course, confusing nostalgia with reality and "what is" with "what should be."

Answering the original poster's question: there was no controversy -- Bush never publicly complained. Barbara Bush did comment that she thought the episode was funny.
