Bob Beckel, the punching bag for Fox News' program "The Five", made a bit of a slip up Monday night when he accidentally pronounced RNC Chairman Reince Priebus' name as "Free Pussy." This isn't the first time Beckel has screwed up on television. Just last April, he told another guest that, "You don't know what the fuck you're talking about!" and live cameras caught every word. To be fair, his accusation probably wasn't that far off. He is on Fox News.
Here's what he said the other night:
“I think when [President Barack Obama] started out, he was neutral about Mitt Romney, and frankly so was I. I thought he was a nice guy. I’ve come to believe he is a terrible — well, I won’t say liar. I wont diminish myself down to where Republicans, or free, free pussy. Fro, free pro. Or, pro-prebus…”
I'm not condemning or approving of what Beckel said because, quite frankly, I think it's just absolutely fucking hilarious. Priebus does have a strange name, but it sounds nothing like "Free Pussy." Maybe something else was on Beckel's mind that night? Hint: It wasn't "pro-prebus."

Reince Priebus has suffered through his name being made fun of before, be it directly or by accident. Stephen Colbert said it best when he equated the RNC Chairman's name to the Latin term for "erectile dysfunction."
Whether Beckel gets fired or not for saying "pussy" on air hasn't been determined yet. It is interesting to note, however, that many right-wing blogs and sites claim that he was trying to call Priebus a pussy. This is ludicrous. If you watch that video, it's clear that the man was just stuttering and ended up butchering the chairman's name. Nothing more, and nothing less.
Get over it. No kids watch Fox News anyway. Just old, hateful people.
*For those of you that watched the video, the things that Bolling said before Beckel slipped up are irrelevant to this post. That's a topic for someone else to cover.
