Fox News contributor Bob Beckel already had failed to keep things classy on yesterday’s broadcast of “The Five,” in which he equated “right-wing” with “neo-Nazi” in a discussion of the Wisconsin temple shooter. That, however, might not have been the low point of the show — when Beckel is speaking, there’s always a path even further downward.
Beckel yesterday stumbled over the name of RNC chairman Reince Priebus, somehow in the process coming up with “Pre-pussy” before being cut off by the host.
Ironically, the slur came immediately after Beckel said, “I won’t diminish myself down” to Republican standards.

We could laugh it off & say "O that's just #BobBeckel being Bob" but calling RNC chairman "pussy" on live tv? HELL NO! http://t.co/7TFuceui

There’s no telling what Beckel will say next, but it’s reasonably assured he’ll be saying it from the comfort of a TV studio. Could we at least get a delay?
They need a delay button for that blowhard “@joebrooks: Bob Beckel calls RNC Chairman Reince Priebus a “pussy” on-air http://t.co/9bPEaxeo”
