what the heck has gotten into Bob Beckel?
I remember him as a hard-nosed principled Democrat standing up for the little guy on Crossfire against the war-mongering assholes on the right.

He's filling in for Colmes on the Hannity show, and for the second night in a row he's agitating for a US attack on Iran. And he wants it now!

What happened to the guy? I used to admire him because he wouldn't take any guff from the republicans, but now he's trying to out-puke them. :shrug:

2. "he's filling in for Colmes"
that says it all.

i haven't seen him in a while because i don't watch the whore shows. but it's disappointing what you describe since i viewed him the same way you do.

3. he's making Colmes look like a bulldog
Now he's sucking up to Ann Coulter... just called her a lady.

Ailes must have pictures of Bob with another prostitute.

5. or maybe they are paying for his prostitutes

6. ha!
And they brought in Fox's favorite "Democratic Pollster," Pat Caddell. At least they could get him some Grecian formula to even out his beard.

9. I agree.
I thought he was a cool guy back when he worked for Carter. But I was ten years old then.

13. I guess so.

10. What's that term for "double spy?"
Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 02:56 AM by gumby
Beckel and 'Big Ed' Schultz are two peas in the same phony DLC pod. :puke: And even more :puke:

edit: Pat Caddell? Now you've got the trifecta. :puke:

15. Dem "spokespeople" are so hungry for facetime,
they "know their place" and want to be asked back..It's like the oldtime tent revival "shows"..It's well-scripted and everyone knows their part..gotta have that shill..

the sad thing is that all during Clinton's term, democrats rarely stood up for him, and the media is even MORE right wing, so if we do ever get back ion the WH, don;t look for any changes.. From day one it will be an inquisition with smiling buttoned down republicans trashing them 24/7.

16. I was wondering myself
He's been a embarassment all week. Hannity can't even interrupt.

Is this the Abramoff money trickling down finally, to low level Dems?
Can I get some?
