Barbara Bush, George Bush Snr’s wife, once called The Simpsons the “dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.” The former First Lady seemed to be completely against the show and didn’t hold back when quizzed on the topic in 1990. Soon after this, she received a letter “penned” by Marge Simpson, which pleaded with Bush to reconsider her opinion and find a way out of the controversy. Barbara Bush wrote back to Marge, apologizing for her loose tongue, and even went on to call Homer Simpson handsome!
