Democratic political operative and former Fox News host Bob Beckel has died at age 73, his longtime friend and fellow columnist Cal Thomas confirmed Monday evening. His cause of death was not specified. Beckel famously ran Walter Mondales failed 1984 presidential campaign and later became a Fox News political analyst, often serving as a token Democratic voice on the networks panels. In 2011, he became the curmudgeonly co-host of the networks midday talk show, The Five, until he was unceremoniously kicked to the curb following his recovery from back surgery, with Fox declaring in a statement that the show would not be held hostage to one mans personal issues.
