There’s also good reasons for his Twitter avatar having him wearing sunglasses.

Every time I see this dude I automatically think Uncle Bud has come back to life and going to be at the Thanksgiving table this year bitching about the ni(CLANG!)

But I still agree wholeheartedly with the title of his book.

So sad. The once-great CNN is reduced to wearing Fox’s cast-offs.

Funny how they never ask actual liberals who the best liberal commentators are.

That cracker croaker.

Faux: As one would expect, CNN only hires the worst liberals to promote its liberal agenda.

Is he auditioning for a ‘Kung Fu’ rerun?

Alan Colmes wasn’t available?

The title of this article should say “Re-hires”. Bob Beckel was one of the hosts of CNN’s Crossfire Sunday back in the 90’s.

Alan Colmes. Snort.

I swear to God his role on ‘Hannity & Colmes’ was to impersonate the awkward quiet that ensues after a loud fart at a funeral.

If this racist asshole is a “Liberal” then Ghandi was a Fascist.
It shows how desperate CNN has become that they are now working hard to become FOX-Lite.

Speaking of Fox personalities, I was channel surfing last night and paused for the first time in forever on Bill O’Reilly’s gig. A U.S. Senator was a remote guest. Some policy was being discussed and O’Reilly strongly voiced his opinion Republicans needed to act on whatever it was up for consideration and ram it through. The Senator chuckled and said he’d do his best. Then O’Reilly, in a deadly serious retort, said almost verbatim, “You better, and you better tell your fellow Senators that, because if you don’t I’m coming after you, and I know where you live.” The Senator nervously chuckled again, there was a pause as if looking for the “Nice joke” relief from the tension from O’Reilly, but it never came. The man is nuts. So full of himself it’s pathetic. Perfect VP candidate for Trump.

I’ve seen Beckel on Don Lemon’s show and he has some good political insights. I don’t agree with some of the comments he’s made over the years, but he’s a political analyst and they all have some baggage.

Fricking LOL, Beckel is one of the biggest liabilities in TV news! That segment they showed on “The Five” about his lonely drunk bachelor Christmas lights display was so despair-filled, poignant and hilarious that I can only assume someone at CNN saw it and hired him as a good deed/self-dare that got out of hand.
