Former First Lady Barbara Bush once made a pop culture faux pas when she called the “The Simpsons” the “dumbest thing she’d ever seen” back in 1990 during the hit show’s second season. Not to be intimidated, Marge Simpson herself (I.e. The cast or the producers) fought back.
“Marge” wrote a letter to the First Lady expressing her dismay at being called dumb and telling her that she thought the two “ladies” had a lot in common: the most important being that they both lived to serve a very important man.
Surprisingly, Laura Bush wrote back! The First Lady’s humorous and gracious letter apologized and even said that Homer looked like a handsome fella. It’s a mystery whether the two kept in touch these last 23 years, but one thing’s for certain…Marge Simpson sure has aged well! In fact, she doesn’t look much different from how she did in 1990…
