Well, just last month they did a sketch with the mother and Brian arguing about the mother’s anchor job at Fox. The mother had to set up a sting at Michael Moore’s house to catch him doing something (I don’t recall). Anyway they found Rush Limbaugh coming in and out of the house and assumed he and Moore had a sexual relationship. Turns out that Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, and a host of other characters was actually Fred Savage in a fat suit.

And the show when the doctor turned on Peter’s gay gene, weren’t they making fun of gay people?

You are right though, haven’t seen anything about Pelosi. But does the average person watching Family Guy for laughs know who Nancy Pelosi is?

As for Obama, I would just give them time. Family Guy is just not yet ahead of the curve like South Park is.

I seriously doubt Family Guy will pick on Obama. Many here are correct when they say that MacFarlane is an avowed leftist. He is.

He does poke some fun at all sides, but I definitely see the leftist slant to Family Guy, which is why I choose not to watch it very much. I would be truly surprised if he were to go after 'The One' like Trey and Matt have on several occasions now.

South Park remains king at making real political statements via an adult cartoon. Family Guy is mostly just nonsense.

Bozell hates them both because he is rather uptight.

That show IIRC Lois was to do a hatchet job on MM. When the network found outabout Rush leaving the premesis, they canceled the story.

Balanced? Hardly! This just gives reinforcement to the loopy left belief of a vast right wing conspiracy. Also they made a point of stating Rush is gay, without mentioning Jabba is gay.

FG USED to be funny. Mostly it is just political jabbing by the left now. Nothing funny about it. They took the funny gag of unzipping lesbian-horse-broom characters from the first season , and used it to promote political/theoretical/social equalism.
