Anthony Weiner Wants To Replace Bob Beckel on The Five

Fox News has parted ways with The Five co-host Bob Beckel and former Democrat congressman Anthony “Nude Pics” Weiner wants to take his place.

Beckel had been out for several months, recovering from surgery and undergoing rehab treatment for prescription medication addiction.

Fox News exec Bill Shine released a statement Thursday saying The Five could no longer be held “hostage to one man’s personal issues” and claimed “he took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him.”

Beckel tweeted responded on Twitter, saying he couldn’t understand the “anger” in Fox’s statement.

I am no longer on The Five or with Fox. Fox statement today baffles me. I will respond in the appropriate forum. I will miss you all.

Apparently when Weiner found out about the empty seat and is interested in filling the position.

If anyone sees my agent, tell him to call me. https://t.co/t2vHmX9Bbo — Anthony Weiner (@anthonyweiner) June 25, 2015

BTW, now that Beckel has more free time on his hands, perhaps now he’ll live up to the challenge that he himself issued to Jason Mattera? Remember this, Bobby? Man up!
