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.

I never liked Beefy Bob but I tolerated Juan Williams until he accused the NRA of “frightening white America into buying more guns”. That proves he is incapable of independent thought.

S***can them both & put on Kirsten Powers. As the token lib she’ll do nicely & is much better looking.

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

Williams admitted today that his 2 sons are Republicans....LOL.

He’s an improvement over Juan Williams. Even when he’s drugged up.

I herniated a disc in my neck and was prescribed a very high dose of Vicodin. It still barely touched the pain and I was taking one every 3 hrs. After a couple of weeks the pain started subsiding a little so I started cutting back the dosage. I walked into our kitchen and hubby said what’s wrong? I said...I’m sick. I am sweating, shaking, and feel like I’m gonna throw up. He laughed and said...awwww you’re going through withdrawals.
I took the bottle and flushed them right then and there and have never taken another Vicodin.

Yes, but at least one of them is on the GOP payroll, so I doubt he’s a conservative.

I don’t agree with most of what Bob says but i have to admit i do like him, i very much wish Bob a speedy recovery, he and Guilfoyle are classic on the Five.

Unfortunately, Fox will have him back on, and on his first show, will blame Republicans for his problems.

And Fox has to do some self-examination on its own deceptive coverage of Beckel’s situation.

To conflate body parts, Bad Back? My a$$!

Juan Williams, stepped right into his shoes. FNC, goes off, when he is on. What a LOSER!

Addiction to acting like a jerk ?

A perfect description of Bob Beckel. I have never watched The Five, the main reason being Bob Beckel. Although, sometimes he has a replacement which is usually Juan Williams. No thanks.

Since Juano joined, I rarely watch The Five.

FNN needs to find a more reasonable lib. Beckel openly despised islam. Juano is a leftist tool.

So I guess The Four haven’t been completely truthy about The Fifth......

You hit the nail on the head. How he keeps a job at FNC is beyond me. The same with Geraldo!

He shows everyone how vapid and idiotic liberalism really is.

We've got Juan Williams for that.

If Tony Snow liked the guy, he can't be all bad.

Get well Bob.

I wonder what his comments were about Rush’s prescription drug problem several years ago.

“Also s bad as Beckel is, I still prefer him over that idiot Juan Williams.

I prefer beating on my own foot with a hammer, to either one of them”

That’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
