He was already replaced sometime back by a better looking Liberal named Kirsten Powers.

Fox has BOTH token Liberals and Conservatives.

The show must go on.

He needs to go to MSNBC—The last stand for washed up liberals.

Then Massihi (who used the names Tiffany and Cindy professionally) and her cohorts allegedly tried to extort $50,000 in hush money from the Democratic heavyweight (he ran Walter Mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign). Beckel’s recent run-in with Massihi & Co. is detailed in this search warrant affidavit filed August 23 in Alexandria, Virginia’s Circuit Court. Beckel discovered his young consort via the Internet (Massihi’s electronic come-on is below) and paid her by check, which proved helpful when cops began probing who was trying to shake down the 53-year-old Beckel. With Massihi currently imprisoned and facing extortion and conspiracy charges, her D.C. answering machine message needs an update: “Hi. I’ll be back around September. Thank you.”

Drunk to drug addict - I really didn’t think he ever offered anything to The Five. He was a token lib living off his association with a major campaign failure - What was FOC thinking anyway? I feel the same way about that Kristin girl that O’Reilly recently had a spat with - she offers nothing.

James Carville is my favorite. He is so over the top he is funny. He also will admit when he is wrong.
I remember him wearing both a paper bag and trash can over his head after getting election predictions wrong.

I am reminded of something Sam Houston said: “The Truth Burns, but burns clean”.

So he was high on pain pills? That explains a lot.

that he had also sought rehabilitation therapy for addiction to
prescription pain medication.

After all the HATE he spewed towards Rush he was in the same damn boat.
Hypocritical piece of dog crap. Not worth spit.

I like him, too. I agree with almost none of what he says, but that’s OK. The Five was MUCH better with him on the panel.

---------------------------------------------

Yup. Beckel made The Five much more entertaining. Whoever they have been using as a sub, especially that horrific lib chick whatshername, is a significant downgrade. I'm likely to quit watching the show.

Oh cr*p, now we're stuck with the omnipresent energizer-dummy, Won Williams.

He was a liberal but he wasn’t a thug... which in today’s world is odd.

I enjoyed the 5 with Bechel.

These days, without him, whoever his replacement is, is too ‘serious’. And I haven’t listened much since.

Bob was loud, and liberal, but didn’t seem to believe his own position.

I have no use for Bob Beckel's politics whatsoever yet I was distressed to read about his rehabilitation for addictive pills. His entire being was attached to his sobriety and to see him slip in this manner is most distressing.

His on air egregious behavior, his swearing for example, must in retrospect be seen as a product of these pills. I wish him a full recovery and many years of service in helping the rehabilitation of others.

Of the three, I preferred Beckel. He occasionally had a sense of humor - sometimes even about himself.

Beckel MUST be older than 53.

53? Really?
