The Simpson's episode Fox almost sued itself over...

[Frangible]

Krusty: "Gentlemen, I am your candidate. There's just one thing. Are you guys any good at covering up youthful, middle aged indiscretions?"
Burns: "Are these indiscretions romantic, financial or treasonous?"
Krusty: "Russian hooker, you tell me."
Burns: "We'll say you were on a fact finding mission."
Hibbert: "Congratulations Krusty, you're running for Congress."

In a TV debate between the two candidates, the reporter notes: "Welcome to Fox News, your voice for evil. Tonight we'll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield's 24th congressional district. For the Republicans, beloved children's entertainer, Krusty the Clown. And for the Democrats, this guy.
Armstrong: "I have a name."
Reporter: "Yes, I'm sure you do comrade. I do appreciate you're being here, you're usually so mired in sleaze, it must be an effort to come down to the studio."
Krusty: "May I say something?"
Reporter: "Certainly, Congressman."
Armstrong: "He hasn't won yet."
Reporter: "You make a very adulterous point. We will now conclude this debate with a Krusty campaign commercial."

While the debate was airing, the following ran on the news ticker: "Pointless news crawls up at 37 percent. ... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at Foxnews.com. ... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer. ... Dow down 5000 points. ... Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay. ... JFK posthumously joins Republican Party. ... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple. ... Dan Quayle: Awesome."

1. Monstrously funny stuff, a dead-on parody.

We should all sue just to keep it in the news. Make it the most requested Simpsons ever. Sue, sue, sue, sue.
