This Montgomery Burns remark is from the episode where Bart & Lisa go fishing just downstream from the nuclear power plant (where Homer works), which is owned by Mr. Burns.

The kids catch a three-eyed fish, and Marge cooks it & serves it to Mr Burns, when he comes to the Simpson house for dinner that night, along with the local press.

He is served the fish, the three eyes looking up at him.

He cuts a piece of fish, puts it in his mouth for a few seconds, then he spits it out, as news photographers take photos of the piece of fish flying out of his mouth.

The next day, the front page of the local newspaper shows the photo of the piece of fish coming out of his mouth; and that's when he says to his assistant, Smithers, "This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election."


I'm a long-time fan of The Simpsons; and that line might be the best ever.

love mad magazine.

Smithers: Actually, sir, thanks to your creative bookkeeping and corporate loopholes, we only pay about $3 in taxes a year.
Burns: You're right! We're getting screwed!!!
