Beckel is an idiot. He say’s that God doesn’t call on you. Sheesh!
If all I had was his personal experience, I'd say the same thing, wouldn't you?
Fat bob has some grandeous notion he’s the “Wise Statesman” of this little gaggle. What a pompus ass. He must have goat pictures on Fox big dogs, how else could he keep the gig?
I don't even mind Beckel as he makes it quite obvious that he's a Dazzle 'em with Brilliance or Baffle 'em with BS kind of guy. Of course, he can only do the latter.
Case in point: last week during a discussion of Rick Perry's Christian faith and upcoming prayer rally, Beckel claimed that he's a Christian and reads his Bible. Then he makes fun of Perry for asking for people to fast and pray as Jesus did. Then he claims that he's never heard of any example of Jesus fasting in the New Testament.
I suppose he just never got around to reading Matthew and Luke, two of the four Gospels which chronicle the ministry of Jesus, and were placed in the FRONT of the New Testament! Maybe that's why his biblical scholarship never revealed to him that Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert while Satan tempted him and angels ministered to him afterward.
And he insinuates that Perry doesn't know his Bible. What a maroon.
"The Five" is sort of a toned down version of "Red Eye." I enjoy it, but I agree, I really dislike Beckel. But I now understand why he's such an angry leftist: On his appearance on "Red Eye" last week, he admitted that he hates cats. That explains it, AFAIC.
