She shredded him, all right. And it was glorious.
This afternoon on “The Five,” Beckel attempted to compare Benghazigate to events that took place during the Bush Administration. Big mistake. Perino absolutely tore into her co-host for his raging case of Bush Derangement Syndrome and for suggesting that Republicans’ outrage over Benghazi is overblown:

You know it's serious when @DanaPerino says she's "pissed"! #TheFive #Benghazi

Oh, it’s serious:
Viewers loved Perino’s passion and thanked her for refusing to put up with Beckel’s B.S.:
@DanaPerino The look on your face when Bob Beckel made those statements about Bush's response to terror attacks was priceless!

@DanaPerino Thank you for stating the plain truth about #Benghazi. Speech does not incite terror – the POTUS was the offensive one. #TheFive

Good for you @DanaPerino! Get PO'd. @bobbeckel and Juan Williams need to give up the Kool-Aid and listen to you and @michellemalkin.
— Michael Sanders (@FMJDiplomat) May 9, 2013
@DanaPerino thank you for being angry at Bob. No right to even compare Benghazi with anything that happened in Bush Admin

@DanaPerino Thanks for your passion on the show today. It was so out of character for you that it was like a sledge hammer. #effective

Fight like a girl, baby!
And, of course, happy birthday!
@DanaPerino Happy Birthday. Have a great day. At least after you calm down from today's FIVE!!!!

Update:
More from Perino, this time on the MSM’s blatant double standard:
So when I said I was p-word, it wasn't at @RobertGBeckel but Benghazi. The same editors that put us attorney 'scandal' on front pages (1/2)
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) May 9, 2013
For nearly two years – have some nerve making fun of people looking at all of this Benghazi evidence and calling for accountability (2/2).
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) May 9, 2013
Boom.
