Fox’s Bob Beckel Undergoes Addiction Rehab
Mediaite ^ | April 30, 2015 | Andrew Kirell

Posted on 05/01/2015 10:01:09 AM PDT by Zakeet

Over the past several months, Mediaite has produced a handful of posts asking the question: Where is Fox’s The Five co-host Bob Beckel? ...

In our first report, we noted that Fox told us Beckel was out receiving and recovering from back surgery. However, our own sources at the network indicated there was more to the story, including possible addiction (as cable watchers know well, Beckel is open about his drug history). And now Fox confirms that there is, indeed, an addiction therapy element to the story after all.

At least he has an excuse. Most other liberals are stuck on stupid without any help from chemicals.

Yeah, really. He’s so fact-based, logical and coherent in his analysis.

Many people hate Bob Beckel. I think he provides a valuable service. He shows everyone how vapid and idiotic liberalism really is.

Recover soon, Bob!

That's what got Jerry Springer in trouble, except that he was a mayor at the time.

While I despise his politics, I pray for his freedom from addiction and hope that he sees the wrongs of his ways.

Should’ve done an intervention right there on The Five.

I can sympathize with people that get addicted to pain medication due to back problems. This is the same thing that happened to Rush. You are in a tremendous amount of pain everytime you move with back problems. These drugs (oxy and hydra codone, etc...) are very powerful and highly addictive.

With all of that said, Beckel is still a jackass....

As bad as Beckel is, I still prefer him over that idiot Juan Williams.

Addiction to prescription pain medication is quite common and can happen to anyone - just ask Rush.

I’m sure Fat Bob will apologize to Rush for all the nasty drug-related references he’s made about him.

Now WHO would EVER have thought a liberal ash hole like ole Bob would go BACK to drugs? I guess lying everyday makes you want to hide from yourself.
