 == Plot ==
-The [[Simpson family]] are at [[Springfield Airport]] about to board a plane to [[Bozeman]], [[Montana]] for cousin {{ap|Cathy|Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson}}'s wedding. Homer's suitcase is overfull so after much sorting out and dumping of stuff later, they are ready to board. Boarding the plane, Homer tries to get his suitcase into the luggage compartment and ends up forcing it out the side of the plane instead. Due to a prison break in [[New South Wales]], the plane was held up at the terminal for 7 hours with no air conditioning and with passengers unable to get out of their seats. Fed up of this poor treatment, Homer starts to rant over the intercom about how badly the passengers are being treated before locking himself in a toilet then traveling down the plane on a trolley. Bart films this and puts it on the Internet.

-Homer, heavily clothed to disguise himself, goes to the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] but [[Apu]] knows it's him. After hearing how much everyone enjoyed his rant, Homer gets an invitation to join [[Nash Castor]] on his show, ''[[Head Butt with Nash Castor]]''. He goes onto the show and manages to shout down Castor in an argument. As a result of this, the network executives decide to give Homer his own TV show, ''[[Gut Check with Homer Simpson]]''.

-Homer brings Nugent home to tell the family that he is backing him. Lisa is appalled by this as Nugent stands for everything that Lisa is against. Nugent stays a couple of nights at the house and does several crazy things, including firing Bart's friends with a bow at a target in the Flanders' back yard.

-The family, getting concerned with this, come up with a plan to trick Homer into not endorsing Nugent. They get a [[James Madison]] lookalike to persuade him not to endorse Nugent. However, Homer works out that it was a trick and tries to tell everyone to vote for Nugent once more on ''Gut Check''. However, he can not do it as he doesn't believe that Nugent should be [[President]] deep down so he calls the whole thing off.
