Birch Barlow




Birchibald T. Barlow is a Fictional Character appearing in the animated television series The Simpsons . To date, he has been featured prominently only in the episode Sideshow Bob Roberts , appearing from time to time in the background of subsequent episodes. He is a right-wing conservative talk-show host on the radio station KBBL , who in voice and appearance is obviously modeled after Rush Limbaugh .

On his radio show, he declares himself to be "the fourth branch of government" and "the fifty-first state". He is also the author of the book "Only Turkeys Have Left Wings".

In the book ''The Simpsons Guide To Springfield'', Barlow is pictured enjoying a "festive meal with a group of close personal friends" - Waylon Smithers , John (from the episode Homer's Phobia ) and Buddy "Fallout Boy" Hodges - at the flamboyantly decorated Sha-Boom Ka-Boom Cafe.

His name may be a reference to the John Birch Society . He also shares with Rush Limbaugh a first name that is also a plant.
