* IdiotBall: Skinner and Chalmers were right to suspend Milhouse for his role in sabotaging the school and refusal to tell who was helping him. What doesn't compute, however, was their inability to realize that ''it was Bart''. You don't have to be a longtime ''Simpsons'' fan to know that Bart and Milhouse are always together getting into some kind of mischief, combined with Bart's bad boy reputation, they should have known who the other culprit was. In fact, when Bart and Milhouse pull another school prank at the end of the episode, Skinner immediately knows Bart was behind this one, which begs the question of why he didn't piece it together the first time.
