Bob Beckel is one of the hosts on the first rate FoxNews show The Five. Some might call him the token liberal on a show designed to be "The View" for people with brains. In practice, he's really not much more than a water carrier for the Obama administration. He's dead wrong on Economics particularly on the role that labor unions have played in America's economy. And I don't think there is a single topic I would agree with him on.
But I have to admit, I respect Bob Beckel.
He does what no other liberal I can think of will do - he steps into the fire and tries his best to have a rational discussion with conservatives. He doesn't shout them down. He doesn't accuse them of racism, he doesn't dismiss them as idiots or sub-humans. The man goes on fox News and does his best to defend the liberal position. I think he's dead wrong, but I admire any man who can do what he does - even with limited grace.
So here's to you Bob. I've put up the most flattering picture of you I could find as a salute. I disagree with you in every way I can think of, but I find your effort truly admirable.

Did anyone else catch what bob beckel said and did on The Five show on May 23, last? He used an obscene Italian expletive accompanied by an obscene gesture, which meant "go f--- yourself". He said "va fa napoli" while crossing his right arm with the left one and thrusting it forward. Very inappropriate for a man on TV of the calibur he thinks he is.
He's still a liberal and that comes with a certain degree of emotional instability.
But at least he stands up there and shows us the depth of his intellect. That alone is worth something.
