It's weird that The Simpsons mentioned the Nobel Peace Prize in two episodes in a row.
I don't think there were any cutaway gags in that episode, which I see as a good thing when there's a real story to tell (as with this episode), but not so much when the plot is weak. As for Limbaugh, I get the impression that he and his ilk believe very little of what they say. Not that they're secretly not Republicans or anything, but they seriously exaggerate their beliefs because it brings in the listeners. But occasionally something will slip out that doesn't seem to be part of the script and IS really offensive, like racist comments both Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly have made.
