Dem Op Bob Beckel grapples with Arianna "ex-wife of now-gay onetime California senatorial candidate Michael" Huffington.
As you can see, the left-side blowhard is rather obese. This may have something to do with the rather passive nature of the sexual activities described by TheSmokingGun.com.
Here's a recent Beckel update from http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/s_90203.html.
PROSTITUTION SHAKEDOWN ENDS CONSULTANT'S CAREER. Bob Beckel's political career is over. Even he admits that.The Democrat campaign consultant and frequent guest on political talk shows said he's giving up politics in the aftermath of a scandal involving a prostitute and two cohorts who tried to shake him down for $50,000.
"I think I need to go and start over with something else," Beckel told the congressional newspaper Roll Call. "It's getting close to the time to fold up my political tent."
According to a police affidavit, Beckel contacted an escort service and had sex with a 20-year-old prostitute named Tiffany. Beckel paid the woman $300 an hour for "massages," according to police. Later, Beckel received a message demanding $50,000 and warning him that his blackmailers had photos as well as an audio tape of him soliciting sex.
Beckel, who managed the ill-fated presidential campaign of Walter Mondale, told Roll Call that he had frequented prostitutes in the past. "I was a bachelor for 42 years before getting married," he said. "Did I use my share of escort services? Yes."
Beckel is divorced. He teaches a class in politics at George Washington University called Campaign Management and Strategy. Wonder if spin control is part of the curriculum?
Personally, I find this story to be a howler. This is/was a professional left propagandist. He and his kind have done major damage to society, in the process smearing many honorable people. Why feel sorry for him? This is an appropriate time for a good horselaugh.
