Rush Guests On "Family Guy"

What do you get when you cross a highly contentious right-wing radio talk show host with an irreverent left-wing cartoon?   This week's episode of "Family Guy."

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh will appear as a lead character in this week's episode of the Emmy-winning cartoon, and believe it or not, he agreed to do his own voice-overs.

Seth MacFarlane, creator of "Family Guy," is well-known as a supporter of the Democratic Party. In the past he has donated money to left-wing Congressional committees and even helped fund Barack Obama's presidential campaign, according to Newsmeat.com.

But the upcoming episode probably won't be as ruthless as you think. According to sodahead.com, here's a synopsis issued in a press release by Fox:

"When Brian learns that Rush Limbaugh (guest-voicing as himself) is going to be at the Quahog Mall for a book-signing, he decides to go down there and give him a piece of his left-wing mind. But when Rush unexpectedly comes to Brian's rescue, Brian has a political change of heart."

That actually sounds a little bit like the circumstances surrounding the episode. Maybe MacFarlane had a similar encounter with Limbaugh when they agreed to work together.
