Slimebag Bob Beckel back on the air (FoXNews)--do you know about his Clinton moment?
Fox Network | 7/5/04 | vanity

Posted on 07/05/2004 4:07:27 PM PDT by rmgatto

This man needs to be off the air. I'm ashamed that Fox News has rescued him from his well-deserved obscurity.

He's the vile one who makes James Carville sound like a southern gentleman. He actively tried to flip electors in December of 2000 in favor of Gore. He's been out of commission for awhile because of a venal act that backfired.

Why would anyone listen to an old fool who gets blackmailed by a $1,200 hooker whom he brings to his home, bragging about how important he is. Smart way to impress the help by giving them ideas about your financial capacity. Then he is so afraid of the hooker and her pimp, who hit him up for $50,000, that he reports it to the police!

Bob Beckel is an especially nasty democrat political operative. He shows his face in public because he has no shame. Fox should take after his ex-wife who dumped him with prejudice after this episode and dump him immediately.

Wasn't he paying her with personal checks?

He did not show very good judgment, did he? Why should we care about his opinion?

Dick Morris has also been reclaimed off the slag heap.

I think that was Jerry Springer who paid the hookers with personal checks. Of course, Bob Beckel certainly could have...

I think so but I'm not sure about that--he did pay her thousands of dollars for what sounded like cursory lip service. It was a real comedy except for the idiot Beckel and his unfortunate wife.

I do not care about his opinion but I would like to see him punished for his nasty mouth with terminal obscurity.

Actually, the hooker tried to extort/blackmail Beckel out of $50,000 and he had to come clean to report the crime.

So who at Fox has decided that Fox News will be the Rehab center for democrat operatives who get caught with whores?

Just what does that make Fox News?

Just unzipping for the wrong person at the wrong time in the wrong place--and getting caught big time.

Right. He had to file a police report. Poetic justice for his stupidity in bringing her to his upscale house and bragging about his importance.

Well .. if people want Beckel off the FOX network, please join me in complaining.

Both Bob Beckel and David Corn spew the same junk all the time. They never have anything new or updated to say .. it's just a constant repeat of the same old garbage.

Please .. join me in telling FOX to find some dems with more credibility than Bob or David.

As for Dick Morris .. he's wrong more than half the time so I don't listen to him.

Exactly--why is Fox scraping the bottom of the barrel? I'll forward them a link to this thread tomorrow and see if they answer.

Or was that bragging about his impotence?

According to U.S. News, Bob has also "seen the Light", with the help and support of Cal Thomas.

If he has "seen the Light", then is he now a Republican?

And .. what I really dislike about him is that after he has bullied and screeched his stinking opinion .. he sits back and has this stupid smirk on his face. He has admitted he just does it to goad people .. heaven only knows if that's his real opinion or not.

These democrat useful idiots have no core values so all they know are the dem talking points. How shallow is that ..??

He makes you want to reach out and smack him with a wet mop.

This seems like a good place to enter the conversation. For years, television sought out the most unappealing republican spokesmen they could find; they then had them on each time there was an issue about which they wanted to appear to be fair.

What is wrong with allowing the left wingers most unappealing spokespersons to shoot themselves in the feet? It sounds like a carefully thought out plan to me.
