We all knew in our hearts that the Simpsons’ Mr. Burns was a team Romney supporter. Now it’s official.

Of course, we’ll never know the identity of most of the billionaires pouring millions into SuperPAC attack ads, thanks to the Supreme Court and the Citizens United decision. But Mr. Burns is proud to support his fellow vulture capitalist.

In this video, Burns brings up what he sees as the biggest issue the Romney campaign has to face.

(Smithers: “The 47 percent tape? The empty chair? The Cayman Islands? Swiss bank accounts? The $10,000 bet? ‘I like to fire people’? The forcible haircut? The tax returns that Wesley Snipes would call suspicious?”)

Nope, it’s Romney’s shaggy dog story… the time Romney strapped a tummy-sick Seamus to the roof of the family car and headed out on a 600-mile drive.

We’ll let you judge how well Mr Burns manages to defuse the explosive story….
