Will Bob Beckel Address His Laughably Wrong Election Predictions on The Five?
NewsBusters ^ | January 16, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

It has been announced today that Bob Beckel will be returning to The Five on Fox News. Of course, there is an issue that must be addressed almost from the moment that Beckel reappears on his old show. It is the laughably wrong predictions Beckel was making on CNN in the months leading into the November election. It wasn't just that his predictions were wrong but the over the top manner of cocky certitude in which they were delivered. Before we review Beckel's inadvertent comedy act while at CNN, let us read the news of his return to his old slot via Mediaite:

Juan the Yawn is gone? More Winning. I might try the show again. He was a clueless shill.

A bad penny will always return. How long before he has another meltdown?

You sure, you really seem like you have a grudge or don’t understand english.

I understand the English language quite well, thank you.

Hang on, five o’clock’s coming. You’ll feel better, I promise.

Ah, it’s the grudge then. I hope you work through it okay and don’t keep falling off the wagon like Bob Beckel.

Nope. No grudge. I have no idea who you are and have had no interaction to my knowledge. You do seem uptight. I do suggest a drink at the appropriate time and within acceptable societal norms. I may do so myself.

See? Pretty easy to be less paranoid and more civil. Try it.

Beckel used to crow sarcastically that Trump was his man, arrogantly implying and mocking that Trump couldn’t possibly win the election and would be the easiest for the ‘rats to beat - how delightful that he’ll now have to justify his choice....

Has he ever addressed any of his other laughably wrong statements?

Juan is sticking around as a Fox news contributor. At least, he won’t ruin a whole Fox show anymore.

Hey, everything in life is relative. Better Beckel than Juan. Better Juan than Whoreraldo. Better to turn it off than watch at all.

Juan Williams must be bad if NPR fired him over his muzzle remarks. He's lucky Fox News gave him a job. I call him the "Furrowed Brow" because he always looks dazed and confused and wrinkles his eyebrows when someone says something he disagrees with.

Just be glad that hateful, disgusting specimen of a human being, Whoreraldo Rivera is not on The Five lately. I developed a habit of turning the program off completely, once I glimpsed his lame ass.

If I remember correctly, the other panelists on The Five used to just ignore Bob Beckel and move on to other subjects right in the middle of his booze-drug addled comments. He never seemed to either notice or care. Many times they treated him like a non-entity on the panel. I was certain he would have a heart attack or a stroke right on the air when he got angry. His blood pressure was off the rails.

Since, Trump was nominated last summer, I have stopped watching most cable TV programs. Not only was there no real news offered but they became "stop the Trump train" all the time. It got old. Now the only TV news I watch is the samplings of the Sunday morning cable TV news programs. They are still anti-Trump but it has become entertaining now that he has won. You can see and hear it in their desperation to stop him.

Beckel is one of the few libs I can stomach. He understands the danger of rampant islam and isn’t afraid to say so.

I stopped watching The Five when Juano replaced Beckel. Glad to see Beckel’s return.

Nah, it is over. Pick up from here. There is plenty of news about poor snowflakes and I am confident he’ll have a few words about them.

I lose 20 IQ points whenever I watch “The Five.” I can’t spare 20 points so I don’t watch.

Your projection is easily recognizable. I’m sorry that you’re an alcoholic and took offense.

“The Five” now certain to change the name of the show to “The Four and One Lone D*ck”.

Works when either Juan, Horaldoo, or Beckel occupies the lib chair, pretty much anytime except when Dana Purrino is at her squishy, unwatchable “I’m smarter than the rest” best.

I call that show “yard work” or “Walking the dog” until Bret Bair comes on.
