“I give you the jury of the damned: Benedict Arnold, Lizzie Borden, Richard Nixon.” – The Devil

“Hey listen, I did a favor for you.” – The Devil
“Yes, master.” – Richard Nixon
“John Wilkes Booth, Blackbeard the pirate, John Dillinger, and the starting line of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers!” – The Devil
Awesome picture montage. I’m printing this out and hanging on my cube at work. Would be curious to see if anyone will figure out the reference.
Ha! That’s great. I didn’t think about printing it. If it looks like crap let me know. All the non-Flyers pictures are pretty scaled down and I could probably produce a higher resolution one that would also have a little more printer friendly dimensions.
Funny thing – by the time this episode aired in Australia for the first time (1995), Nixon had died, making the joke out of date. Great moment though, as any moment with Nixon in The Simpsons (and Futurama, for that matter) is. You can never have too much Nixon.
