Tuesday was just another day for “The Five,” the boisterous discussion panel program on the Fox News Channel, until liberal pundit Bob Beckel sank to a new low by referring to the Republican National Chairman's name -- Reince Preibus -- with a vulgar word for a particular part of a woman's body.
The incident occurred when “Five” co-host Eric Bolling referred to an upcoming e-book entitled “Obama’s Last Stand” that's being produced by the Politico.com website and indicates President Obama intensely dislikes former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Beckel joined the discussion by stating that he could understand if the president dislikes his GOP counterpart.
"I think when [Obama] started out, he was neutral about Mitt Romney, and frankly, so was I,” he said. “I thought he was a nice guy.”
"Let's move on!" Bolling declared as co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle covered her face to hide her laughter.
Interestingly, Priebus was a guest on ABC's “This Week” just two days earlier, and during his interview, he called Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) a "dirty liar" for claiming Mitt Romney has not paid his taxes for more than a decade.
Reid made the claim in an interview last month, saying a Bain Capital investor had told him about the lack of Romney's tax payments.
"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son," Reid said in reference to George Romney's standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.
Romney strongly denounced the accusation, saying last week it was false and that Reid needs to “put up or shut up” regarding his source of information.
“As far as Harry Reid is concerned, listen,” Priebus said on Sunday. ”I‘m not going to respond to a dirty liar who hasn’t filed a single page of tax returns himself, complains about people with money but lives in the Ritz Carlton here down the street.”
As NewsBusters previously reported, Beckel has a reputation for making controversial remarks that occasionally drift into vulgarity.
In June, Beckel told FBN's Don Imus: "If I was Juan [Williams], I'd wake up next to [Michelle Malkin] with a shotgun.”
Beckel's curiosity was finally satisfied when Carlson said that Munro is an American citizen, and a proud one at that.
And in April, Beckel told a female member of the Tea Party that she doesn't “know what the f**k you're talking about” when Jennifer Stefano disagreed about the relative success of the Head Start program and learned that the program had come back from a commercial break and the microphone was live.
He finally apologized, saying: “I’m sorry about using that foul word, yes. But the intent about it is still there.”
Beckel schmeckel...a typical vulgar RAT.
One needs a conscience to have shame.
Why is this guy still on Fox? He’s obnoxious,vulgar, and is offensive to most Fox viewers. When are they going to can him?
I think they should cancel the whole show. It is the worst program on the network, and exceedingly annoying and childish.
Beckel is an anti-Semite. He showed that yesterday with that disgusting comment he made about Romney’s fundraiser in Israel. I have no idea why Fox keeps them, have no idea why they keep Shepard Smith either, he’s another vulgar sack of dog doo
Did Bob show up drunk again?
Glad somebody else noticed that Shepard Smith is also vulgar beyond belief.
Why can’t they simply replace Beckel with Juan Williams? He has his faults but he generally acts like a gent.
“Mulva”???
Beckel is pretty much vulgarity personified.I think Fox pays Beckel extra to do stuff like this, otherwise who would watch “The Five”?
Hopefully to make libtards look like the libtards they are...
Fox Management IS responsible for everything they pump out.
Free Pussy
Did he swear on national television again?
Fox News hangs up a sign especially for Bob Beckel whenever he’s on that reminds him not to say the “SH” word.
Juan is tolerable, Beckle is not!
If you think about it, allowing the public to see a guy like him in action, will actually have positive results for us.“When are they going to can him?”
I’ve thought the same thing, but maybe he should stay. I can’t think of a better choice to demonstrate the personality and projections of the left.
I’ll take Beckle over Alan Colmes anyday.
Exactly!
Another lesson in civility from a Democrat.
I agree with you about the direction of the show. The ratings are great for it though, apparently.
Sadly though, don't be surprised if Barack Obama is working for Fox News sometime after he's out of the White House. They've been trying to get Bill Clinton or Hillary on the Network for quite some time.
Fox News really is fair and balanced. They are not conservative. They are not republican. But they are fair and balanced.
I’d think Fat Boy would be on thin ice after dropping the F=Bomb on “The Five” and getting a few days off the air for it.
Its time for Ailes to fire this lard-assed bum.
Thanks.
After this last one about RNC chair, I had to think, "yeah, it's a good thing you guys had to get rid of Beck, 'cause he was such an embarassament and Beckel, yeah, he is just fine."
Bob “give me another drink” Beckel is an idiot when he’s drinking and he’s ALWAYS drinking when he’s not sleepin!
I cannot take either one. Both of them have that sneering condescension that I just can't stand. I turn the channel to something else as soon as I see either one.
Unless he's done it more than once, it was when he was on with Hannity's show. I wonder if they will leave it in when they re-broadcast the show at 2 a.m. EDT.
Fox should leave Beckel on; he's a buffoon and a good example of an intolerant, opinionated, liberal Dem. Juan replaces him occasionally but Juan spouts the lib line without making a fool of himself.
Oh yes...Colmes is THE BOTTOM of the socialist scum suckers.
Juan is tolerable, Beckle is not!Neither of Hannitiy's liberal friends are "tolerable", including Joe Lieberman.
The disgust and sneering faces coming from Juan regarding anything conservative is anything but tolerable...Beckel is just an unfunny dickhead that thinks he's cute...
Just another liberal Democrat masquerading as a “journalist”, scared and angry about the beating they’re going to take in November, and lacking the intellect to express it any other way.
I say keep Beckle and replace Ted Baxter with Herman Cain or Alan Keyes
The fact this man is still granted ANY airtime at all is proof positive of an extreme leftward bias extant in the press.
FOX News may have 'jumped the shark' over mittens
Fair and balanced is Juan McCain
I’ve had enough of the ‘wisdom’ of Bill Kristal, Chas. Krauthammer, Ted Baxter, Bret Beahr, Toyko Rove, Ann Coulter, Chris Wallace, Sean Wannabe, Dana Parino,
Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Judge Jeanene, Alan Comes, Tamara Holder, Lamont Hill, Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Whoraldo, et. al. all acting the part of the Romney cheerleading squad
Name ONE true conservative on FOX
There is clearly a hunger and a market for honest news and honest conservative news
Can’t stand Bob Beckel, Tamara Holder, Lamont Hill. Turn off the TV whenever they appear!
.
Ha, my husband & I were doing the EXACT same thing a moment ago! Seinfeld lives!
Well Juan is a jerk but he can sometimes be tolerable..Beckel is just an ass, he must know Obama is going to lose so he’s losing it before our eyes. Shepard Smith is a disgusting homo, he got pissed that thousands went to Chick Fil A for appreciation Day he called it “Intolerance Day” what a jerk!

When does Roger Ailes fire this low life. Get some class Roger.
I record The Five in case Bob stokes out...wouldn’t want to miss that.
Kimberly laughed,
what a surprise, NOT, they all suck up to Beckel except Bolling.
If she thought that was funny then it shows what she really is and where she really stands.
which is why I asked before, how on earth does nayone still watch that awful show?
it astounds me the crap some people watch , it really does.
Sitting there watching the idiot who thinks he;s funny, a womanwho is the elitist establishment, Kimberly she hid her face and laughed with no brains and Beckel who I woudl love to have a go at and see how tough he really is .
Those are 2 different markets.
I don't want conservative or liberal news - I just want honest news without a slant in either direction. Leave the slant, in either direction, for commentary and the editorial pages. News should have no political agenda.
Of course I know that will never happen, but one can dream!
I like the program except for Beckel.

Bob Beckel has been in recovery for a long time and does 12 step work with addicts.
That said, he is still a jerk and he(and we) can’t use alcohol as an excuse for his outrageous behavior.
