Politico reported that the bottom feeding, one-man freak show Geraldo Rivera would help fill the void.

Yikes. Images of frying pans and fire are dancing in my head.

I agree. The Five was better with Bechel. He was a good foil for the others plus he had better insight into political campaigns than any of the others. I read between the lines of Fox’ statement that he was canned for substance abuse despite Fox’ attempts to help him rehabilitate.

The Fox News statement does sound a bit harsh


Sometimes the truth hurts.

*******

If only the country would take the same view on any number of liberal ideology and culture.


^^THAT^^

I have to say I found Kimberly constantly getting annoyed with him priceless. There, fixed it!

Fox....

...He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him.


Addicts can do that. Tough love is the only solution, usually.

Exactly right.

There was a time when Beckel was very edgy. On the FoxNews panel, he was less edgy. He would disagree, but he moderated considerably.

What I suspect is that we’ll get someone much more edgy, that will be more effective in confusing people.

Not good in the long term.

I think he is an alcoholic and drug addict. Once and addict, always an addict.

I will miss him on The Five. He was entertaining. I almost never agreed with his positions, but I liked to watch him.

Juan is the worst. Worse than Comes. They should get Snake Head to join the group. Now that would be entertaining.

No progress in my view. I'd rather listen to Beckel than Juan or Geraldo. At least Beckel could make fun of himself once and a while and was not nearly so sanctimonious as most libs.

That’s the message I heard, too, but I hope it’s not true.

Beckel was a disrupter. What he said was less important then whom he stepped on to block their time to speak.

Thank you for the information. I thought I recalled Beckel talking about his former druggie days.

I’m sorry to learn he has relapsed.

I’m with you regarding Juan. He’s intolerable, what with his shouting.

I turn the channel whenever I see his face and I do the same with Colmes.

There’s one other I can’t stand but the name escapes me...lol.

Wait: it’s Richard. Don’t know his surname, but he’s a frequent guest of Megyn Kelly’s.

He won’t shut up.

More time for hookers and blow.

Still he was better than his liberal fill-ins.

I suspect he needed rehab long before the back problem. There were times on “The Five” he was slurring his words so badly he very likely downed a fifth before stepping into the studio.

I’m glad he’s gone. He was on a talk show to discuss significant current events and he refused to talk about Benghazi. He was getting paid to address the issue and he just flat-out refused to do his job. He should have been fired a lot earlier for his on-air profanity, disrespect to coworkers and left-wing stupidity. Good riddance.

“I think he is an alcoholic and drug addict. Once and addict, always an addict.”


Careful. This may upset fans of another talking head that shall be nameless. ;)

An extremely unusual exit statement for any employer to make publicly. The truth behind it must have been really bad...

Meet Maryam Massihi. The 21-year-old hooker recently stole political consultant Bob Beckel's heart--at least for a few hours, at $300 per.
