Croctograms

by Foggy Brume
Answer: NAGIN

Each cryptogram is either a quote by John F. Kennedy or Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby of the Simpsons (who is a parody of JFK). One word has been removed from each.

• The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth - persistent, [persuasive] and unrealistic (Kennedy)
• Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and [Northern] charm. (Kennedy)
• The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this [endeavor] will light our country and all who serve it - and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. (Kennedy)
• What the hell made me think Michael [Jackson] would even visit this jerkwater berg? (Quimby) (from "Stark Raving Dad", episode 7F24)
• We'll blow up our dams, destroy forests- anything! If there's a species of animal that's causing you problems... nosing around your camera, we'll have it [wiped] out. (Quimby) (from "Radioactive Man", episode 2F17)
• Ducking this issue calls for [real] leadership. (Quimby) (from "Much Apu About Nothing", episode 3F20)
• Those who make peaceful [revolution] impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. (Kennedy)
• Welcome futurists, cyberphiles, and the rest of you dateless [wonders]. (Quimby) (from "Mayored to the Mob", episode AABF05)
• The only unchangeable [certainty] is that nothing is certain or unchangeable. (Kennedy)
• If that is the way the [winds] are blowing, let no one say I don't also blow. (Quimby) (from "Sideshow Bob Roberts", episode 2F02)
• The torch has been passed to a new generation of, uh, snow [plow] people (Quimby) (from "Mr. Plow", episode 9F07)
• Liberty without [learning] is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain. (Kennedy)
• I'll just [amuse] myself with some pornographic playing cards. (Quimby) (from "Marge vs. the Monorail", episode 9F10)
• I hereby declare this day to be Snow [Day], the funnest day in the history of Springfield. (Quimby) (from "Bart Gets An F", episode 7F03)
• Victory has a thousand fathers; but [defeat] is an orphan. (Kennedy)
• The goal of [education] is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth. (Kennedy)
• [Forgive] your enemies, but never forget their names. (Kennedy)
• Can't we have one meeting that doesn't [end] with us digging up a corpse? (Quimby) (from "Lisa the Iconoclast", episode 3F13)

Each can be encoded its own cipher to get the following:

• MAYORCONGA
• WHOELBOW
• FHEFOTRY
• POSTAGE
• HEFTY
• PUSH
• MUORBIAERL
• RAINBOW
• RAIONBHOW
• ELBOW
• UBER
• TPUSOHOK
• CONGA
• WIN
• TWIWON
• POISTANGE
• OVBIERG
• BIG

The last "cryptogram" is actually a series of words related to the Quimby words. Each Quimby word can be subtracted from a Kennedy word to result in a new word. These words, when ordered according to the final cryptogram, form the clue: MAYOR WHO TOOK OVER FOR MORIAL IN OH TWO. The answer is NAGIN.
