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:

No, no alcoholic here. Try to be less touchy and assume better intentions on the part of fellow FReepers. You’ll be less on edge, and will create less ill will unnecessarily.
“Cool but they’d have to call it “The One”.”
LOL, ... one is good.
Could have fooled me. Try not to be so caustic and personal in your responses and trying to play others for the fool.
Go back and read my responses to you again. Nothing caustic or personal whatsoever.
Beckel invented the “Harass Electors” strategy.
Uh huh, you can have the last word on this.
If you’re a recovering alcoholic, I sincerely apologize. I can see how my replies to you might be construed as caustic and personal if this is indeed the case.
If not, I don’t.
I TOTALLY agree!! Dana is a Democrat and Gutfeld is IRRITATING ....he doesn’t wear well, and adds NOTHING relevant!
He’s still at FOX....he’s on every damned show on FNC and FBN!
I am glad Beckel is returning. Don’t agree with him but sure like him.
As much as I disliked him ... he is what he is ... sure beats the hell out of Juan Williams.
Why would anyone even watch The Five?
What a waste of nightly time—Now if they were to put on a quality show with someone like Judge Piro, then I would watch every night.
That said, I confess, if Beckel has to eat some crow on his first night, even I will tune in to enjoy his feast.
They should send Heckle and Beckel off to do a personal expose on the dangers of writing personal checks to prostitutes. You know, as a public service:
“Bob, you’ve spent time with prostitutes. How credible is this story about Trump and two hookers in Moscow?”
THAT”S interesting!! Good, because it made the country WAKE UP to what the Democrats are really about....WINNING AT ANY COST!!!
Quite an emotional reunion!!
I think they are SO HAPPY to have Beckel back on their program. They all look delighted. Bob is a lot skinnier and looks a lot older, but seems fine.
I’m very happy to see Bob back! Agree with all who say dump Dana. And, yahoo, no more Juan and his badly-delivered talking points!
BAD move, Fox. Beckel is a sour-puss who constantly denigrates everything. NOT enjoyable to watch.
Spot On!!
Are these remarks from the DU? Nope, they're from this thread so far.
It's stunning.
Williams was so bad on the Five that he makes Beckel look good by comparison....and thus, Beckel is a more welcome panelist even though they are both of the same cloth.
Beckel is just as leftist as Juan, only with a different style. Williams is a robotic propagandist, well-informed, extremely quick in his thinking, a liar and a spinner....and a deliberate, calculating non-stop talker who is practiced at dominating the shows he's on.
Beckel is likewise a propagandist, well-informed, a jolly ex-drunk, quick in his thinking, a man of fewer words and one-line jabs, an easy, laid back team player...and, like Juan, a dyed-in-the wool marxist and Trump loather who, unlike Juan, employs the stiletto rather than the sledge hammer to destroy conservatives, the Republican Party and the incoming Trump administration in any way he can.
Beckel's flippant style and cool-cat demeanor is easier to take than William's....therefore....., and to my dismay, his evil ideology is acceptable, even welcomed by some on this board because it's less annoying and less blatantly Goebbels-like than that of Juan's....and he's such a "relief" after his unsufferable predecessor.
I watched Beckel's re-incarnation today. His announcements and promises of what to expect from him (particularly concerning the new administration) in the future were serious, deadly and chilling....and his cold jabs at Trump and his future intentions as a panelist seems to have been lost in the hour-long love-in on the show joyfully celebrating his return.
Beware this second-coming of Bob Beckel. Radical Juan has been replaced by radical Bob....scratch them both and you'll find exactly the same ideology underneath....only with a different packaging on the outside.
There's nothing to be ecstatic about in Fox replacing Tweedledeedee with Tweedledeedum.
