Watching Senator Al Franken be officially welcomed to the Senate will undoubtedly drive right-wingers crazy.

What is yet another example of conservative hypocrisy, Republicans are doing everything they to discredit and diminish Franken, as if someone who was formally active in Hollywood is somehow unqualified for office.

No doubt he'll go crazy on his show dissing Franken's win, but as this clip shows, Franken being seated as the junior senator from Minnesota just might make Billo's head implode.

Enjoy...
