I like him, too. I agree with almost none of what he says, but that’s OK. The Five was MUCH better with him on the panel.

I agree. The Five was better with Bechel. He was a good foil for the others plus he had better insight into political campaigns than any of the others. I read between the lines of Fox’ statement that he was canned for substance abuse despite Fox’ attempts to help him rehabilitate.

Yup. Beckel made The Five much more entertaining. Whoever they have been using as a sub, especially that horrific lib chick whatshername, is a significant downgrade. I'm likely to quit watching the show.
