As you probably know, the giant media empire behind “The Simpson’s” TV show and movie is hosting a contest to see which Springfield is most like the mythical Springfield we’ve all grown to know and love. You can vote here.
Question: Match Simpson characters, places and events to their Statehouse counterparts. Snark is heavily encouraged, of course. Have as much fun as possible.

Homer and Bart pass a mysterious billboard that reads: OBAMA IS COMING!
Bart: Obama is coming? Who’s Obama???
Homer: He’ll tell us what to do!

How about The Simpsons=the budget mess. It used to be funny, but has gone on way too long. If this movie were made 3 years ago, maybe I’d have gone to see it. The show is now a mere shadow of its former self.

Lisa=Lisa Madigan. Both very intelligent and named Lisa.
Sam Panayatovich=Moe the bartender.

Rod’s gotta be Mayor Quimby.

Marge=Blago. It’s the hair.

Mayor Quimby = Mayor Daley. OK, he’s not in Springfield, but dammit, it’s a good match. Both Irish. Both politicians running big cities. Both have been doing it for about 20 years. Both assorted with corruption. Both admitted to using city funds to murder political opponents and got out of it by quoting Gabbo.
And as long as I’m shifting from Springfield, IL to IL politics in general: Barney = Phil Crane.

Blago = Mayor Quimby
Frank Watson = Homer
Jesse White = Dr. Hibbert
Sen. Righter = Ned Flanders

Giannoulis = Troy McClure

At least Blago isn’t a womanizer (as far as we know) like Mayor Quimby.
Comment by Levois Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 10:41 am
Emil Jones- Mr. Burns
Rickey Hendon- Smithers
Comment by Gene Parmesan Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 10:45 am
Good Old Gil = pretty much any member of the IL GOP these days.
Oberweis = Homer. I can see Homer trying to pass off that straw vote thing and expecting people to go along with it.

Am I the only one seeing the Speaker as Mr. Burns….and Rod as Homer. Another subpoena. DOH!
Comment by Chicago Cynic Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 10:49 am
Rod needs to eat more donuts to be Homer.
Comment by Levois Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 10:53 am
Sen. Martin Sandoval=The Bumble Bee man

The Simpson family visits the Lincoln Presidential Library. While walking towards the building Borack Obmoma steps out and introduces himself to the Simpson family and informs them that he is running for president. Homer quickly grabs his kids and pulls them back. Lookout everybody! It’s a read-side Obmoma! At that point a car backfires and Homer jumps two feet into the air and lets out a shriek and then runs into the library. Homer then walks up to a receptionist and asks her where the car and driver magazines are. At this point the script writer steps in the scene and tells homer that this skit is supposed to be taking place at the capital. Homer lets out a load DOTE! The next scene then has Homer walking around the old state capital where he runs into Mike Jacobs. Mike is throwing darts at a picture of Rod Blagojevich. Homer demands to know why the politicians aren’t there. I heard that they were having a special session today just for me. Jacobs tells Homer that they have been having a special session everyday for the last two months. Homer asks “Well what’s so special about that?” Jacobs just shakes his head and starts throwing the darts as hard as he can at the picture of Rod.

Chapin Rose is a little bit like comic book guy. Every dem bill is the “worst bill ever”. JBT had a very lunchlady doris quality as well.
Comment by Punky QB Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 11:11 am
Blago = Apu at Kwik E Mart (he has the hair and in regards to Special Session…”Thank you, Come again.” or Ralph Wiggum
Madigan = Nelson “ha ha” Muntz
Jones = Mr. Burns
Rich Miller = Kent Brockman
Lisa Madigan = Superintendent Chalmers
Sen. Haine = Prof. Frink
Comment by Homer for President Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 11:23 am
Topinka as chain smoking Patty or Selma. Who would be her twin?
Krusty = Rich Miller, for keeping everyone entertained during overtime.
Comment by Tom Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 11:23 am
Mike Madigan is definitely Mr. Burns, huddled in his office, wringing his hands, plotting his next move to enrich himself and weild even more power!
Comment by Southern Man Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 12:10 pm
Blago is Chief Wiggum. He is supposed to be in charge, but usually asleep at the wheel or can’t find his gun.
Comment by grad student Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 12:21 pm
Blago is Snake……first the hair (which was evil and had a life of it’s own on one Halloween show) and second his….um….tendencies to act outside of the law.
Comment by Anon Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 12:43 pm
Na Jones can’t be Mr. Burns. He’d be more of a recurring one time character. Perhaps Jones can be Principal Skinner.
Comment by Levois Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 1:16 pm
What?
I don’t get to be Principal Skinner?
Comment by Cal Skinner Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 1:30 pm
While we’re on this topic, we should all remember to vote for Springfield, IL. According to the SJ-R, our Springfield currently holds a thin lead in the race. You can vote here: thesimpsons.usatoday.com
Get the word out!

I can deffinitely see Rod standing in front of a cheering crowd and thinking it’s cool to call himself a jelly doughnut. That’s what Quimby would do.
Comment by David Starrett Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 2:38 pm
Lisa Dugan for Selma.
Comment by Krusty Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 3:12 pm
What are those damn Shelbyvilleans up to on this contest?
Comment by Moe Friday, Jul 6, 07 @ 5:39 pm
Barbara Flynn Curry as Marge.

This show is still on the air? That’s sad.
