Video: Bob Beckel’s antipathy to right-wing “crackers” explained

posted at 5:35 pm on July 1, 2008 by Allahpundit

Actually, never mind that: What this really explains is Fritz Mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign. You can blog while drunk, Bob, but you can’t win the presidency while high.

Well, no, actually, per the Clenis, I guess you can.

We simply must make contact with Tantaros and get her into the blogging scene. If you’re reading, Andrea, e-mail me. Click the image to watch.

That’s OK. I don’t like addle-brained triple-chinned windbags myself.

So this basically means pot isn’t cool anymore, right?

Why isn’t that guy blackballed?

jukin on July 1, 2008 at 5:42 PM

I can’t fathom why a suave looker like him ever had to pay for it …

Democrat campaign workers can get high, but the candidates can’t. Democrat candidates need to be able to remember exactly what stories they told and who they told them to. It takes a lot of mental energy to keep everything straight.

Which reminds me of one of my all-time-fave TV quotes “If you could harness all the mental energy in this room, you could…toast some bread…lightly.”

Well, no, actually, per the Clenis, I guess you can.

He claims he never inhaled, AP. Which means that he was a liar, or a selfish pig. The former seems to be true. But if the reason was for the latter, then that jerk wasted a perfectly good hit.

You can’t Google Andrea Tantaros without being led directly to The Activity Pit.

Beside the link was a fun critique from Hitchens on this year’s POTUS personalities.

“Comrade Pot-head” or “Ganja Boob”?

Which one should I use?

Claypigeon on July 1, 2008 at 6:37 PM

I guess being stoned (having been stoned in the past??) is the new black.

Don’t demystify the blogging thing too quickly, AP. You’ll only end up in the friendzone. Remember, you’re anonymous because you’re dangerous. And per yesterday’s headlines, I hope you shaved the beard, just not too close.

Bob Beckel is a mess!

And Andrea Tantaros would look good hanging all over you, Allah.

Man, I guess. Wow.

Jaibones on July 1, 2008 at 7:21 PM

Actually its nice to see Beckel being human. Normally, which is nearly all the time, Democrats are the most plastic self-righteous politically correct disingenuous snobs anyone is able to imagine. I actually feel sorry for Democrats because they are fooled by their collective belief in nothing at all. Sad pathetic creatures most of them are.

And fox wonders why a lot of conservtives or not watching fox anymore.If i wanted to watch liberal BS all day i would watch msnbc (dnctv) or CNN

Troy Rasmussen on July 1, 2008 at 6:08 PM

you got that right and i even bet he moved afterwards just to get another hit as it went around the circle .

Damn Bogart

MirCat on July 1, 2008 at 8:02 PM

Wah Wah Wee Waaaah Tantaros is a hottie…Beckel sounded like such a moron, with dunces like him the Marxist Party is going to lose this election. Please go away with your money-grabbing, socialist garbage.

FLcapitalistthug on July 1, 2008 at 9:01 PM

Doocy had the best line “Bob ‘Bong-Water’ Beckel”. No, Beckel had the best line, “That’s right, I loved it! It was fun.” At least he’s an honest creep.

srhoades on July 1, 2008 at 9:29 PM

Beckel’s an idiot. Fox loses credibility every time they put his stupid ass on the air.

flipflop on July 1, 2008 at 9:57 PM

I have to say…there is something about potheads being batshit, unethical, insane losers…just an unfair correlation, perhaps…but it seems to be there…something about being able to think clearly, perhaps.

AUINSC on July 1, 2008 at 10:21 PM

Bob Beckel took the brown acid..

now we know.. :{

Chakra Hammer on July 1, 2008 at 10:44 PM
