Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell The Edge 'Joe' Quimby, is the long-standing, much-maligned - yet strangely forgivable - Mayor of Springfeld. Sorry, Springfield.
Don't assume that his lengthy term of office reflects a spotless career. Quimby once enraged Springfield voters by releasing the nefarious Sideshow Bob from prison - a mistake he paid for when Bob was elected (briefly) as mayor shortly afterwards. He was also the centre of a paternity scandal - 27 paternity scandals to be precise - but he cunningly kept the journalists at bay by bribing them with adorable puppies. Ahh...
Mayor Quimby is not without his talents, however. His uncanny ears can detect the sound of a briefcase opening from several rooms away, while his ability to seduce (or just pay for) nubile young blondes (often several simultaneously) is unparalleled in all the land.
A healthy business relationship with Fat Tony has also had a major part to play in his illustrious career.
