Bob Beckel didn’t realize when the commercial break ended during tonight’s final segment of Hannity, caught in a heated off-camera argument with fellow panelist Jennifer Stefano. Off-air debates, we learned, are granted a much more colorful range of vocabulary than on-air debates, and as the cameras started rolling, the first words on national television were, “You don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about.”
In a blooper that is as hilarious as it increasingly becomes painful, it slowly dawns on Beckel what actually happened, as Hannity insists he apologize and Beckel, after saying he won’t several times, finally realizes the cameras are actually rolling. When he finally figured it out, he told Hannity to “run your show better,” then covered his head in shame and refused to speak, other than to say “I’m going to be fired.”
Hannity explained the situation– the two were in a heated debate while he and Tea Party activist Neal Boortz played catch with the famed Hannity show football. Beckel didn’t look over at the producer giving a five-second warning and inadvertently went off on-screen. When he finally realized what happened, Beckel was beyond contrite, instead saying he was going to get fired and refusing to speak for the rest of the segment. Both Stefano and Boortz tried to comfort him– Stefano trying to continue the policy debate but noting that she took exception with the “personal” nature of debate sometimes, Boortz adding, “if they try to fire you, we’ll defend you.”
The perils of live TV: you can say something so inappropriate and refuse to believe you did for so long, that the unbelievable moment in which you realize what happened makes everyone come out looking more endearing.
Note: A clip of the incident is imbedded in the article.

My rule of thumb is not to curse when in a broadcast studio. Just to be safe.
Still no way to talk to a lady even if she is a right winger.
Would Boortz have responded like that to a female lefty?
Liberals never grow up or grow out of their hate infested little world.
Eric Bolling saved Beckel’s life recently with the Heimlich maneuver at a restaurant. You would think Beckel would have a renewed appreciation of life and the people around him.
I still find Bill Press and Alan Colmes the more despicable. Beckel’s saving graces are occasional flashes of humor and self-deprecation as well as periodic recognition of how liberalism has destroyed society ( Black families ).
He also believes in ghosts. Me too.

This was not on the late night broadcast. The commercial break came immediately after Boortz said his piece about poverty. When the program resumed, they were already arguing about Beckel’s statement.
She pwns his fat ass when she says “Failure”.
Reminds me something about Jesse Jackson and Obama’s balls????
That indelible handwriting on the wall has many libs about to go Postal.
I want them to bring her back and let her needle him some more.
Oh no a pubbie was mean to a Rat! More evidence of the republicans war on women, or something.
LOL!
See, that would make for entertaining political discussion.
Even Beckel's suspenders would not be able to contain the inevitabke implosion.
Consider yourself lucky. He's a genuine slime ball. Self-admitted alcoholic and coke head. Back in 2002, he was paying a hooker/masseuse $300 an hour for sex at his house. His secret came out when the woman tried to extort $50,000 from him to keep her mouth shut. Why Fox News continues to pay him to be a political analyst is beyond me. It's one of the reasons that I stopped watching the channel.
“I’m going to be fired.”
Hey Bob, you’re a Democrat! Don’t worry!
His response was EXACTLY what you’d expect from a liberal; First he denied it happened which was unbelievable since millions of people saw him do it. When denial failed he blamed Sean for not warning him they were back on the air. Liberals never accept personal responsibility. They are the spawn of Satan and have rotten evil souls. Damn them all!
Yes. I like to watch The Five when I get home, I TIVO it so that I don't miss anything if I'm late.
Beckel has gotten testy lately, and I think it's that his guy-Obama-is beginning to embarrass Bob. Bob Beckel sees everything through the political advisory spectrum, and it's as if Obama has gone rogue lately, nearly everything he's done or said has backfired. The other four panelists on The Five are winning the arguments with reason, and Bob's having trouble defending the blunderer-in-chief.
Fer cryin’ out loud!
The gun is always loaded.
The microphone is always on.
How hard is that?
This comes after all the fuss by media, Obama and left outrage over Republicans treatment of women, hounding Rush's sponsors... such hatred and hypocrisy
The degenerate pig will never reach respetable or classy. He will always be a sewer dweller because he is a dyed into his wool democrat operative. That means he’s a dead soul walkin’

I suspect that Rupert Murdock cares a lot more about money than ideology. He’d put on a shaved ape smoking a cigar and playing a tambourine if it provoked contraversy and attracked viewers. Clearly Mr. Beckel failed to attract this viewer. Maybe if he had a tambourine.
The foul birds can’t hide it. Haters hate.
We need to hang these radical insane people around Obama’s neck. Especially Holder’s “people” - the Nation of Islam thugs and all the attacks on whites that came about in the Trayvon race hate for gun ban game. Shipping guns to cartels and blaming it on gun dealers did not work so now comes the black race hate and violence tatic.
He will have to start “distancing” himself from them which will really irk the NOI racists.
Thanks very much for your update.
I no longer watch Fox unless I know ahead of time that Sarah Palin is making an appearance.
