I can’t believe that Al Franken is a US Senator.  There should be celebrating in the streets.

Above is a video that has the audio from Franken’s infamous take down of O’Reilly at the Book Expo in 2003.  I saw it broadcast on CSPAN2 Book TV randomly the day it happened and watched it jumping up and down with my mouth wide open.  Sadly I can’t find any video footage, only the audio above.  In short he explains why he calls Bill O’Reilly a liar in his book.   Keep in mind Bill O’Reilly is SITTING TWO FEET FROM THE PODIUM.  They were both at the Book Expo to promote their new books.

You can read about it here on Salon.  And here’s a video of O’Reilly telling him to shut up after it’s over.

AL FRANKEN IS A US SENATOR!
