Here's what he signed in the Westminster Abbey guest book on May 24,2011:
I just saw that. He said 4 years ago in 2000. Either he is drunk, high, or stupid. Was he drunk in an earlier episode?
Slurring his speech should catch the ire of the bosses for sure!
Beckel is an idiot mouthpiece for the radical left, but in his defense, getting the year wrong is not necessarily a sign of drinking. Hell, I don’t drink and there are times I don’t know what day it is. Sometimes the brain just short circuits.
Libs drink like they do because they know deep down they’re wrong on every level. It gets tiring BSing yourself.
I keep thinking the same thing every time he’s on TV.
Why can’t a pundit on a talk show, sitting there spouting off opinions have a few? It’s not like he’s flying a plane. They used to drink on Johnny Carson a lot.
Well, he wasn’t on the “air” — he was on cable.
But apart from that nitpick, I’ve gotta agree about his ultra-extreme obnoxiousness. I saw part of his appearance last night on Hannity, where he was incredibly rude to the mild-mannered and always polite Dennis Prager.
And not only was he highly disrepectful of Prager: Beckel went out of his way to diss the U. S. Constitution in terms that no doubt would have shocked even Ruth “Buzzy” Ginsberg!
I hadn’t thought until now that alcohol might explain Beckel’s over-the-top vituperation of last night — but yeah, he probably was drunk. Wonder what Prager will say about the incident today on the Prager radio show?
He completely repressed the Bush years.
If my job was to defend Obama and his administration, I’d drink too.
As lefties go, I like him. He’s harmless.
Here's what he signed in the Westminster Abbey guest book on May 24,2011:
He’s a recovering alcoholic, I doubt he was drunk.
I would hope the few liberals that might watch The Five, would see how some of their failed ideas sound when they come out of Beckel’s mouth.
Nothing like letting one of the enemy spout off and show how foolish they are.
Yesterday, Hannity had Beckel and two other guests on his radio show to discuss the absurd case of the primary school principal banning the use of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” Beckel launched into some rambling blather about that song being “inextricably linked to Republicans,” based on how many times it’s been played at GOP events. In his twisted mind the song should’ve been banned, but for a different reason than the one the principal gave.
I’m willing to bet $$$ Beckel’s reaction wouldn’t have been the same had the song been that Obama praise and worship piece foisted upon the those first graders a couple years back, i.e. “Barack Hussein Obama, mmm..mmm..MMM.”
AWWW!!!
I feel sorry for him :(
If i had to defend that bunch of leftist morons i’d take up drinking too!
Bob Beckel, actually goes to my old church—where he was invited by his very good friend Cal Thomas (yes, THAT Cal Thomas, the arch-Conservative).
Beckel used to drink, into alcoholism—but gave it up, when he gave his life to Christ. He also gave up any support for pro-abortion groups—support he used to routinely give. Unfortunately, he’s still a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat...and yes, something of a useful-idiot—and a token liberal Democrat on Fox.
Beckel is also though, a committed evangelical Christian.
(Yes being evangelical, and liberal... is an odd combination—and I don’t defend the irreconcilables there...)
Beckel, like Thomas is in his mid 60s...and probably is starting to fade a bit. Mental lapses like mixing up a date —under the nervousness of TV lights though...isn’t necessarily a sign of drunkenness.
You mean it’s not 2004? Note To Self: Buy new calendar and join procrastinator’s anonymous.
He also said that the primary question that people should ask is “are you better off now than you were 4 years ago” and his answer to that question was Yes. He claimed that obama’s only problem is that he is not doing a good job selling that part of the message to the public...
I about came out of my chair!
Beckel’s positions are indefensible. He makes the 6 nearly unwatchable.....nearly. He is, in fact, clear proof that both/all sides of an argument are heard on Fox News.
He performs his role as an exemplar of general socialist/liberal thinking magnificently. While watching his performances, one gets the opportunity to hear an impassioned argument from the socialist point of view, and formulate a concise counter argument....without the temptation of putting a fist through the face of the person one might be debating face to face (thus staying out of the hoosgow).
As to his drinking, doubt it. Too self righteous, even for a dhimmbocrat.
Fat, drunk, stupid, homo, addict, abortionist, liar, ugly, and communist is No way to go through life son!
