The Simpsons - 23x10 - Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson

    After Homer's meltdown on an airplane goes viral, he gets to appear on a political talk show.  He takes charge of the conversation, and is offered his own show.  His influence grows.
    I like this episode, but I don't feel like it reached its potential.  Since most of the episode focuses on Homer channeling Glenn Beck, and since Beck has been off the air for awhile now, the approach seems strangely dated.  The message of the episode is good - Homer needs to understand that politics, and these pundit characters, do have a real influence in the world, and that they need to be responsible.
    Strangely, this message is not applied to Ted Nugent, the guest star.  The show is remarkably passive to how irresponsible Nugent is politically.
    I wonder if the show will age well.  Homer's gravy boat fad is the sort of thing that might show up now and then, as political fads come and go.
    You know what would make a good Simpsons episode - Homer gets suckered into being a Sovereign Citizen.
