A Head in the Polls
Quotes:
Bender: I've had it up to here with this place. I'm going to the head museum to
hang out with classy heads who appreciate the finer things - poetry, philosophy,
...hats.
Fry: Leela, I've got a plan!
Fry: Why would Nixon want to stay at the Watergate?
(Bender looks into a window at the Watergate)
Nixon: I'd no sooner give up this body than I would my dog Checkers.
Nixon: Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but your average voter
is still as drunk and stupid as ever. The only thing that's changed is me. I've become
bitter and, lets face it, crazy over the years, and once I'm swept into office I'll sell
our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll break into people's houses at night and wreck up the place! Mwahahahahahaha!!
Seen Around the Future

It's election time and everyone goes to register. Fry is unimpressed with the two main
partiies' incredibly similar candidates, who are clones. Meanwhile, a mine accident
increases the price of titanium. Bender is 40% titanium and decides to sell his body. At
a visit to the head museum, he realises that life as just a head isn't so great and wants
to get it back. Unfortunately, Richard Nixon has brought it and is running for president.
They unsuccessfully try and persuade him to give it back, so they break into his hotel
and try to steal the body, but he wakes up. He reveals his evil plans, which Bender
records, and they switch the body for the tape. On election day, the Nixon does very well
in the human polls, but wins in the robot polls as he has an enourmous robot body. He
goes on a rampage in Washington DC.
