Fox’s Beckel Mocks Handshake-Gate: You Think Obama’s Going to ‘Catch Communism’ from Castro?

Fox News’ The Five began its broadcast Tuesday with what has somehow becomes the biggest news story of the day: President Barack Obama’s handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service. (Obama’s “funeral selfie” is a close second, and the show took that on moments later). “President O sure seems cozy with the Commies,” Eric Bolling said.

“I can’t believe you led with that,” Bob Beckel told Bolling. He was baffled by the fact that his co-host was trying to make the handshake news, saying, “That’s bull.”

When Bolling defended the topic by saying it has also been discussed on CNN, and asked why Obama couldn’t just skip over the Cuban leader as he approached the podium to deliver his eulogy, Beckel shot back, “What do you think, he’s going to catch Communism by shaking hands?”

2. "Bob Beckel told Bolling. He was baffled..."

some nice alliteration there...

3. I don't know Beckel from beans

but it's refreshing to hear an occasional off-script comment from the lackeys at FAUX 'News'...unless his comment was followed up with something along the lines of, 'how can he catch Communism, because he's a commie already!'

5. The show 'The Five' has four republicans and Beckel is the one democrat.

6. I did not know that

AFAIK I've never even seen a clip of the show.

7. I think they need another dozen republicans to make it "fair and balanced"

8. Bob fell from grace a few years back

he used to appear regularly on CNN, but now only Fox will have him.
