Mr. Burns Endorses Mitt Romney

With only a few days left, Charles Montgomery Burns has declared his presidential endorsement for none other than Mitt Romney. Sitting next to a few binders full of women, the fictional plutocrat of The Simpsons universe assures his gay assistant Smithers (who is probably voting for Obama) that the only thing that stands between the Republicans and their God-given right to rule is a shaggy-dog story—the incident from 1983 when Romney left his Irish setter Seamus on top of the family car for a 12-hour, 650-mile trip.
