Friday afternoon on The Five, Bob Beckel tore into Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for an online ad he released this week that uses the IRS scandal to equate President Obama with Richard Nixon. Beckel called it “one of the cheapest ads I’ve seen” and said to McConnell, “you ought to be ashamed of yourself!”

“To politicize this thing before you have the hearings,” Beckel went on, “and to go on the air with that kind ad, that’s a muckraking, disgraceful, disgusting ad, and it’s typical of a guy from the bourbon state.” To protestations from his co-hosts, Beckel said “in my worst day” he would never have put an ad like that on the air.

If this is his response, then it’s working.

Keep it up, Sen. McConnell! Apparently you’ve hit a nerve.

Mr. Macho Toad Beckel, I gather, is not the least bit ashamed of his political party stealing the 2012 presidential election by its corruption of the IRS.
