Bart Simpson for Scotus

Sandra Day O'Connor has announced her retirement. Drudge is feuling speculation that Chief Justice William Rhenquist will soon retire. Scotus names are all about as thick as flies. While the Democrats advise the President to pick a 'consensus' candidate and the pundits on the right have started a "Just Say No!" campaign to AG Albert Gonzalez, I want to put in my two cents worth. It's time to start a "Bart Simpson for SCOTUS" campaign.

Bart Simpson for SCOTUS

The reason why I put forth such a nominee is that in Season 4, episode 6, entitled "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" (airdate 11/3/92) Homer has a vision that Bart becomes a SCOTUS judge. The Simpson's official website describes the episode in this way,

Every kid in the world waits with bated breath for the Itchy & Scratchy movie, but Bart is the only one who's not allowed to see it. Marge and Homer ground Bart for his bad behavior, making him miss the most important movie of his life. In a vision of the future in which his son becomes a Supreme Court Justice, Homer imagines seeing a revival of the movie with Bart.

I would use this episode to sell coffee mugs, t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc... but FOX's Lawyers would sue me for millions so instead I will start an unofficial campaign and give the copyrighted credit to Matt Groening, 2004.

Send me your questions that nominee Bart should expect to hear from the Senators. I will post them here and begin now.

1.) What is a KWIJYBO? Answer: A big, dumb, balding North American Ape, with no Chin." Marge adds and a quick temper. Insert Senator Kennedy joke here. (From the episode "Bart the Genius" #102))
--- Bart used these 7 letters in Scrabble to empty his tray , score upwards of 150 points, and leave Homer to puzzle over how to use the the letters o-x-i-d-i-z-e.
