I Wondered What Happened To Bob Beckel...

I for one was not going to forget him to death.
I can't say I missed his pure emotion complete lack of logic lib screeds...

"Fox News has officially dropped 'The Five' co-host Bob Beckel from the network, saying the show could no longer be held 'hostage' to his personal issues," Dylan Byers of Politico reported earlier* this afternoon: 


"We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn’t hold The Five hostage to one man’s personal issues," Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.
"He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill(like only a lib can) and we simply came to the end of the road with him."

Shine said Fox News personalities Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will be "among those rotating on the show for the near future.”

Beckel, who joined the network in 2000, had entered rehab therapy for his addiction to prescription pain medication in April.
His last appearance on the network was Feb. 16, more than four months ago.
News of his departure from Fox was first reported by Mediaite.

 

Adios Bob.
You won't be missed.

I can see why he left. Liberals are angry and hateful people.

I liked Bob, he was a flaming liberal on some things, but used common sense, (read conservative) on others. He was willing to take heat from the left and the right and stuck with what he believed.  That and he was funny at times.

I think his foul mouth letting too many F. bombs fly maybe had something to do with his departure.

Whether you liked him or not, he said what he believed without the PC angle which irritated both sides.

Geez, thanks, Beckel, you are yet another asshole prescription drug addict that makes the problem we legitimate pain sufferers endure monthly for our script so much harder.  The only things I ever agreed with your worthless ass on were your anti-Muslim rants.  Oh blah, blah, yeah, anyone reading this who wants to jump to the standard "They're not all that way", noted and thanks for never pointing that out for white right wing terrorists like the Charleston maniac.
