Fox News host Bob Beckel just can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth.

The co-hosts of Fox News’ “The Five” dove into the season finale of the reality TV show “The Bachelorette” on Tuesday, and Beckel had a strong opinion about the revelation that bachelorette Andi Dorfman slept with the man who she didn’t choose to win the competition.

“She’s a slut, number one,” Beckel burst out.

That went too far for Andrea Tantaros.

“Are you kidding me right now?” she said.

“I’m not kidding you, she sleeps with somebody else and then doesn’t tell the guy about it –” Beckel said.

“Oh excuse me Bob, you probably sleep with a different woman every night,” Tantaros cut in.

“I was going to say that whole episode really lowered the bar on the ‘Bachelorette,’ which would be hard to do, but I think that we just surpassed ourselves here and lowered it even further,” co-host Dana Perino chimed in.

  1. Isn’t this FOX’s “liberal?”

    I never had to learn the hard way, but I learned long ago not to call a woman a slut even if she is a slut. Just let her behavior speak for itself and sit back.

  3. Fox News Democrat isn’t the same as other Democrats. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a raise, since then conservatives can say “What war on women? You mean the one liberals like Bob Beckel are waging?”

    By the way, has Bob Beckel ever defended President Obama on one of those shows?

  4. He’s a liberal like Colmes is a liberal, which means he’s not really a liberal.

    Una:

    Good point: He isn’t even a “token” liberal. He wears the label and that’s all. He’s more like set decoration.
