* CaptainObvious: Krusty's campaign commercial features a series of historical events with Krutsy poorly photoshopped into them (such as the Iwo Jima flag raising). An announcer voice then notes that the "pictures have been edited to include Krusty."
Added DiffLines:
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, some graffiti in Congress claims Grover Cleveland sucks something, and Krusty is told by the senior congressman to "leave it, lest we forget."

Removing misuse, the low flying planes plot remains a driving plot. And since we never see the other neighbors complain, their plot was not "dropped" So it doesnt count.

Even when Krusty gets elected, he ends up too powerless to enact the change they want, so the Simpsons have to pull some behind-the-scenes shenanigans in the House to get the bill passed.
Added DiffLines:
** Congress as a whole is slammed as inept, corrupt, and structured in a way to give the old guard all the power while preventing newly-elected representatives from being able to do anything. At the same time, it shows that its members are also easily manipulated by those who understand how the game really works.
