Will Franken be a whipping boy for the GOP?

For GOP talkers and apparatchiks, Franken’s resume is almost too good to be true. He pushes such time honored Republican buttons as hatred of Hollywood entertainers (in addition to Franken’s own celebrity, many top stars have donated to his campaign), anti-elitism (he’s a Harvard graduate), and prudishness (his dirty jokes were a constant source of attacks during the Senate campaign). As if that weren’t enough, many commentators like Sean Hannity have suggested that the complicated recount process has been less than aboveboard, raising the specter that a Franken win will be illegitimate.
