Fox News' Bob Beckel 'Sort Of' Drops F-Bomb (VIDEO)

Fox News' Bob Beckel dropped an F-bomb on Thursday's "The Five," Or, he "sort of" did, in his own words.

Beckel's maybe-profanity came during a conversation about Muslim terrorists. He brought up his fellow Fox Newser Juan Williams, who was fired from NPR for saying that he feels uncomfortable when he sees people in "Muslim garb" on airplanes.

"I not only felt bad about it, I got off the (something) plane," he said. The (something) sounded like a cross between the f-word, "frickin" and a weird cough.

After the show returned from a commercial break, Beckel addressed his weird utterance.

"The producer tells me that I swore in the last session," he said. "I didn't--well, I sort of did. Anyway I apologize."

Watch the video, captured by Johnny Dollar, above.

I've alway respected Fox News. Until they hired Bob Beckel to be part of the "Five". not only does the show suck, but Beckel is such a stooge, it is intolerable. If you want to turn the sound down and merely look at the beauty of Andera Tantaros, or Kimberly Guilfoyle, or Dana Perino, that's understandable. but this show serves no useful purpose other than to provide a daily reminder what a**wipes Democrats are.

He is good - calling the guys on Jersey Shore "greaseballs" (they are Italian ya know). And, once or twice referring to midget-wrestling.

Beckel is fun to watch whether you agree with him or not. He represents what the democrats used to be. He illustrates what a left leaning moderate could be were there any left.

I like Beckel. He at least really challenges some of the nonsense spewed forth by the wack-jobs on FOX. Unlike whining Juan Williams, who deserved to be fired at NPR, Beckel can stand his own with the likes of Hannity and O'Reilly.
Check out O'Reilly when Juan Williams subs for him. It is nothing but Billo talking points enuncited by whining Juan.

I wonder how come the HuffPo conveniently left out the fact that Beckel is a DEMOCRAT contributor to Fox news. As such he is on the show everyday to lend balance and a perspective from the left. Something the other networks would know nothing about.

When you are slanted, you need balance. Thanks for admitting that Fox Nooz is a right-wing propaganda machine; that's the first step.

Those creeps at Fox are all cowards. They hide behind an Ideology seeking protection.

Who carried out the Norway killings? A Christian.

Just another Murdoch mistake.

Who carried out 9/11 killings? Moslems. What's your point?

What they were saying and implying was more obscene than any one perfectly legitimate anglo-saxon term.

They just never recognize home grown caucasian terrorists..the individual terrorist...the h8te groups of any other ethnicity. Just keep feeding the evangees fear and big0try about anything Muslim. Hopeless.

And not frkken hot..omg..so pathetic..what kind of life does she have??
