I was surprised to see the red xs over Bachmann and Cain's photos. They must have added them in pretty late.

I suppose they could have X'd them out anyway, so even if they hadn't dropped out it would have still been funny. I don't think it takes a political genius to know those two were never going to get the nomination let alone elected.

The ticker comments on Homer's TV show were pretty funny.

really funny episode. The Fox news bit was fantastic (the headlines, and the "I'll turn your children gay" bit. Was watching with my girlfriend who doesn't really watch the Simpsons and she was laughing hysterically.

Simpsons aren't exactly known for being timely. Even this episode was a parody of the Glenn Beck show, a program that was at it's peak popularity maybe 2 years ago and was cancelled 9 months ago.
I think last year they took a jab at Fox News in the opening and got a little heat from it so they inserted another shot in the next week's episode. I can't remember the joke exactly, something with a helicopter, but the animation looked pretty shoddy by Simpson's standards.
