Candidate Casting Couch: The Simpsons

In its first two weeks, The Simpsons Movie grossed more than $240 million worldwide. With that kind of money pouring into the First Bank of Springfield, it's not surprising that Matt Groening and all the rest of the cartoon's staff felt safe in taking the rest of the summer off. But what about its loyal fans? To where will they turn for their fix of rote stupidity and brash uncouthness? (We have a feeling that you know where we're going with this…)

John Edwards = Marge Simpson
Infamous hairdo

Sam Brownback = Ned Flanders
Hididdly-ho, evangelino!

Fred Thompson = Troy McClure
You may remember him from such films as…

Barack Obama = Bart Simpson
Self-possessed young risk-taker and t-shirt hawker

Tom Tancredo = Hans Moleman
Able to take a football in the groin — other than that, we don't know much about him

Dennis Kucinich = Lisa Simpson
Good message, always on point, vegetarian, too short to be taken seriously

John McCain = Abraham Simpson
Affectionately known as "Gramdpa," jowly, increasingly becoming irrelevant

Hillary Clinton = Sideshow Bob
Yalie, struggling to emerge from the shadow of a famously indulgent celebrity partner

Rudy Giuliani = Nelson Muntz
Entire reputation based upon campaign of fear

So, who do you think is Homer Simpson?
