This Burditt & Carlock story has three good threads:

  • Jack recruits has-been Bucky Bright (Tim Conway doing self-parody, a decade after his appearance on Ellen) to be a celebrity Republican but decides that Tracy would be better, which Tracy agrees to after having a dream where Jack is Nixon and Toofer is Sammy Davis, Jr.;
  • Meanwhile Kenneth gradually gets disillusioned with Bucky;
  • And we see the return of Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters) and understand more about why he and Liz got together, from a flashback to their snarking at the Hours (which I heartily agree with) to a Liz & Jenna talk where (ironically as it would turn out a few episodes later) Dennis is compared to the off-brand Mexican Cheetos that Liz likes.
