Oregonian Congressman Cries Election Fraud In 'Simpsons Movie' Premiere Contest
Not everyone is as tickled as the residents of Springfield, VT over their victory in The Simpsons Movie premiere contest—particularly Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, who, in a letter to the memory-deficient head of the Department of Justice that begins, "Heidely ho, Attorney General Gonzalez," demands to know how his own state's nominee could have lost to a town with a population of a mere 9000.
This clip from Countdown with Keith Olbermann summarizes the exchange nicely, highlighting the various potshots taken at the Bush appointee under the guise of yet more viral Simpsons Movie promotion—though DeFazio stops short of accusing the Attorney General of having denied Guantanamo detainees the basic Constitutional right of Habeas Donuts.
