Cautiously ‘Callous’: The Five’s Eric Bolling Suggests It’s Time For Gabby Giffords To Step Down

video
» 188 comments

On Tuesday’s The Five, Eric Bolling spoke out on the touchy subject of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords political future. The Fox News co-host called Diane Sawyer‘s interview “very heart-warming” but thought it was probably time for her to step down. “In the risk of sounding very callous– these are tough times, the economy’s on its ear, we really need all hands on deck. For me, it seems like — forget next year — maybe even now say ‘Hey look, maybe they should hold a special election right away to see if he we can get someone who is really capable and able to make the right decisions.’”

“She’s got to ask herself if she can hold this seat in this condition,” co-host Bob Beckel chimed in. “It will be a rough battle. Republicans have to be careful how they take her on but they will take her on. A number of them are lined up to do it. I wonder for her own sake, for her future — they want to have a kid — I wonder going through a grueling campaign is just not too much for her or her constituents.”

Brian Kilmeade thought one of her staffers could substitute for her while she recuperated.

“The way I feel about it, play a man down in the house. Anything to make her progress better, get a chief of staff that people trust,” Kilmeade proposed. “Introduce him– you know staffers do a lot of the work anyway and see if this is something she wants to do. I think the country has to support her….if she formed a staff in her likeness, people that she believes what she believes, if they can do a lot of the work for her while she rehabs, if that is something she wants — she took a bullet to the head for this country! At least she can finish her job if she chooses!”

    I actually agree with Bolling on this one. That was the only thing I took away from the intervieew. 

    The saddest part is that she’s still smarter than most of the GOP Presidential field.

    I guess Bolling is now Palin’s mouthpiece?

    Gabby Giffords is more intelligent, courageous and gutsy than EVERY SINGLE elected conservative in America today……………brush off the haters, Gabby……you go girl!!

  • Rufus Danegro

    Wow what a sack of dog puss. Well maybe since its all hands on deck time Fox should look for some smarter empty suits to be on the Five.

    There are partisans and then there’s Eric Bolling-a rare species of conservative C.H.U.D.D much like Jason Materra or James O’keefe.

    Bolling: In the risk of sounding very callous– these are tough times, the economy’s on its ear, we really need all hands on deck.
    It would be nice if could get all the Republicans ‘on deck’ to save the economy instead of trying to destroy it for everyone except the wealthy.

    “I actually agree with Bolling on this one.  That was the only thing I took away from the interview.”

    Hmmm….What I took away from the interview was her strength, humor and beauty, her husbands loyalty and courage and an incredible sadness something like this has to happen.

    The only thing I DIDN’T take away from it was anything to do with her being needed back at her job.

    Do we really need her to rush a decision so we can add another vote to the gridlock?

    Take all the time you need, Gabby.  :)

    As long as she still votes liberal, right? No one even knows if she can comprehend the issues and implications of her vote in congress anymore.

    Unfortunately it’s just too partisan of an issue.

    I’m sorry but I just can’t fathom the liberals here saying “take all the time you need” if a Republican was in the same position. There would be no dancing around such a sensitive issue. It would be more like “do the right thing by your constituents, Representative Republican”.

    YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rex the Wonder God

    In all fairness. how else do you expect The Republican Party to get the message out to The American People tmp, on what is best for The Republican Party? 

    I mean, if The Republican Party were to call a press conference to say that she should stand down because that’s what in the best interests of The Republican Party, 
    then people might think, 
    Hoo boy, don’t know what you think, but it kind of looks obvious that The Republican Party is playing politics with this phony appearance of “concern” for her health and welfare, combined with this obviously entirely hypocritical “concern” that her being absent from minority ranks of the Do Nothing Speaker Boehner Congress has the least effect on the country. 

    So, the best way to market these messages, the way that is FAIREST to the best interests of The Republican Party, is for some heroic figure on some patriotically-motivated media organization to articulate that, as if it’s some sort of independent opinion and doesn’t come in any way, shape or form from The Republican Party.
    Now, people may complain (if we can call the loony left and libruls and ACORN fascisti and OWS militant terrorist hippies and radical Islam and angry black people and illegals and the commie forces of the Muslim Kenyan Czar-Meister dictator currently occupying the White House ‘people’, and not what they are, which is sub-human animals with no legitimate rights to be treated equally with members of The American People tmp), which is fine, so long as things don’t get out of hand and The Republican Party decides it’s necessary to send cops in to restore law and order and preserve private property and crack some heads, maybe break a rib, maybe cause a little brain injury. But the fact is the First Amendment, is there, and you can check with the Tea Party historians on this, to protect The Republican Party protect The American People tmp, not to protect hoodlums and loony leftist Marxist-Leninist chicks always whining about being “victimized” by being shot in the head in the course of an assassination attempt in which Democrat party operatives unfortunately were too slow to duck bullets so paid for their fat spupid tardiness in dying.

    Exactly. 

    Giffords needn’t worry about the opinions of anyone outside of her district. Last I checked, Bolling doesn’t have a vote in Arizona.

    Geez, I can’t believe people here think Eric Bolling is simply a partisan shill for The Republican Party. He’s SUCH a solid, reasonable, balanced & incisive commentator.

  • Anonymous

    Well, to be honest, how is this any different from a deaf person being in office?  It’s clear her thought processes are fine she just can’t seem to speak well because of the brain damage. Maybe if she learned some sign language she could get a translator and more effectively say her message.

    I’m not sure if she should step down, it might be to her benefit, I think she would win if she ran. It’s really up to her though. If she can write things down to communicate, I think that’s fine, I vaguely remember a president doing that, or beethoven.. or something, anyway, it’s a small hurtle.

  • PaulG85

    It will boil down to what her doctors say with regard to her rehabilitation’s progress and whether the voters feel confident in choosing someone who will unfortunately have a harder time sometimes communicating. I like Mrs. Giffords very much and I’m sure that no matter what happens, she’ll succeed in life.

    Pablow said: “The bottom line is whether her constituents are entitled to a Representative in the House or not.”

    Yeah, it’s tragic that she wasn’t able to reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the official motto of the United States.

    I imagine if there was an important enough vote she would again return for it but other than that I think she deserves to have her term expire.

    You’re right, a liberal would NEVER say that if it were a Republican.  But we don’t have to be like them.  I think it should be up to those she represents.  I greatly admire her and IF she can do the job, that’s great.  On the other hand, you can’t just let someone continue to do their job because you are rooting for them.  That wouldn’t be fair either.  She is a true testiment to the human spirit though.

    Excuse me, no one ever questioned when an obviously mentally impaired man was President of these United States, and not a single liberal questioned whether he was fit for office, or how long he might need to recover from an assassination attempt.  The question of whether Rep. Giffords is able to serve is only between her and her constituents, and all of the talking heads at Fox need to shut the hell up because this is unseemly, even for a network where unseemly happens on an hourly basis.

    Are we so bored, that we have to make partisan arguments over a story where a woman got shot through the head? I mean seriously folks! I understand if this was something about policy or law or financial dealings, but if you boil down this story it is simply a congressperson was shot, 12 others were killed. What possibly could be deemed partisan about that. Now Bolling does have a point, but that is for her district to decide. If you were truly worried for her recovery or the business of her district, the it doesn’t matter who replaces her. A few other points. Political rhetoric has always been bad and in this instance did not influence the shooter. However, Palin isn’t the victim either. The shooter was neither liberal or a conservative, he was schizophrenic. He was upset that Giffords wouldn’t answer a question on lucid dreaming. Last i checked, neither party was concerned with this. So lets find another topic to amuse ourselves with.

    Perhaps it’s because I’m a fellow Badger (I assume you’re from Wisconsin) or perhaps it’s because I’m more conservative than you think on a number of issues.  Either way, I try to inject some humor in pointing out contradictions and have been known to use heavy sarcasm and a nasty word here or there.  As long as both “sides” (if that’s how we commenters refer to ourselves lol) can keep the personal attacks out of it, it makes for entertaining banter.

    That’s right…you’re all as thick as thieves. You would rather see this country become a banana republic than admit that Obama is a bungler (even worse than Carter) and his policies are a complete failure.

     It’s funny how no one at FOX had a problem with a 100-year-old, barely-functioning Stom Thurmond serving as a senator. His staffers actually had to follow him on to the floor to tell him how to vote.

    This might draw some hate (from those that won’t comprehend my post) but I actually like the way she talks. It forces people to listen to every word. I only wish all politicians spoke this succinctly instead of blurring their ideologies  and pushing their agendas by using rhetoric and double-speak. I think she has more thought process than most of them in Washington now. Let her district decide.

    The House has put forth 23 Bills, these are held up in the Senate. Maybe you should do your homework.
    The Congress (House and Senate) was controlled by the Dems from 2007-2010, with NO budget passed.
    There is a budget bill that was passed by the House and is sitting in the Senate(Dem controlled) and has not even been heard.

    To all the idiots replying to Michelle.  Bottom line, the shooting was not inspired by Sarah Palin.  No, don’t call the shooter a liberal, but it evidently was fine with all of you to let the Palin lie stand.  Heh, caught in the act of being vile, partisan hack stupid.

    Go job with saying absolutely nothing Jonathan 

    See..I know you liberals have a tendancy to support people taking on roles that they cannot handle because it makes you feel good.  But the fact remains the Giffords, due to the violent actions of a Marxist, leftwing moonbat, is tragically incapable of executing her representitive duties in congress, and for the sake of her constituency, should step down. 

  • One pissed off liberal

    Yeah, it is strange that a congressman, who is not already wealthy when elected, can ammass a multi million dollar fortune over 10 years on $170k a year salary.

    Actually, due to the make up of the House, it really doesn’t matter if she’s in DC voting or not.  Earlier this year they realized that when Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-CA sought to have her booted from the House Armed Services Committee.  Because of the 2010 elections, committee slots are lopsided and her vote would not change anything anyway.

    Her staff can take care of the routine needs of her constituents.

    I did see something months ago, it was a rumor that her husband might be interested in running for her seat or the open Senate seat Sen. Kyl is vacating.  If the rumor is true that hubby is considering the Rep seat, one could hardly consider Bolling as insensative.

  • Rio

    When I call my Reps office, I expect to talk to his staff and don’t even take into consideration that I will be talking with him.  I used to work for my Congressman so I know attempting to personally speak to him would be a waste of time, telephone tag…..or, I call his brother, lol.

    Congressional staffs are very capable of taking care of most of the constituents needs.  If it’s something that specifically needs the personal help of a congressman, the staff would contact another AZ representative.  I’m sure any of them, R or D would gladly help a citizen in Rep Gifford’s district.

    I agree with Bolling.
    Giffords now speaks like Obama without a teleprompter (57 states–Corpse Men) and Al Sharpton WITH one (Resist we much…)
    It IS entertaining, and quite humorous,  though, watching her Helen Keller imitation.

    What th–?  Gabby Gifford is FAR more articulate and well spoken and intelligent than Eric Bolling is or will ever be.  He is such a dense fathead he is unable to even button his collar!
    Bolling is the most inexplicable talking head on Fox because he CAN’T.
    Talk.
    He just bellows and grunts and wheezes and puffs up like a festering boil.

    Oh lets see reducing pesticide regulations god yes spray the children with DDT the birth defects and illness will create jobs. More offshore drilling how smart do any of you realize fossil fuels will run out or do you think your fairy godmother will make more. Reducing regulation that’s all that ever comes out of your mouth’s do you remember Bhopal. Regulation is all that keeps us safe or would you like American Rivers to be like the Ganges which is so toxic that if the water splashes you are exposed to typhoid, cholera and amoebic dysentery. If you think they won’t pollute look at what American corporations do in other countries and that doesn’t include how they treat their workers if they were allowed to do it here they would in a heartbeat. Corporations don’t love America they see it as something to squeeze profit out of to think anything is is delusional their only obligation is to make money. Forgotten fifteen, no the destruction of America fifteen. I have seen first hand the effect of clear cut logging where nothing grows because of soil erosion the side of a Mountain clear cut when my dad was young that still looks as barren as a moonscape, creeks that 40 years ago had so many salmon you could walk across on them, pesticide run off has eliminated them none seen in years. It’s hard to fish, surf, enjoy an oil slick, you can’t catch nonexistent fish,  you can’t hunt forests that don’t exist, polluted water makes for poor water sports. America isn’t about what cash you can exploit it for it’s the whistle of Roosevelt Elk, trout jumping in a crystal clear stream, Antlers cracking during the rut, Geese honking while flying overhead on their yearly migration, coyotes yelping (as they are right now but our dogs keep them off the property) this is the America I do and will always treasure and will fight those that would destroy it.
             Regulation change will not spur purchasing only demand will. If a company is stupid enough to higher people just because of less regulation or lower taxes they deserve the bankruptcy they will be facing. After all just because you have a warehouse full of widgets doesn’t mean anyone will buy them. Supply side economics is a pipe dream economics is based on demand if there is a demand someone will fill it (regulations don’t seem to hurt drug cartel profits).
             Oil is traded on the open commodities market and is subject to the whims of those traders more may reduce price but there is no guarantee it will, plus as deep offshore drilling is so expensive they have to have high oil prices or it is not profitable.

    It seems she just has a problem expressing herself,  but well aware of her surroundings. I pray she gets well enough to return to the job she seemingly loves. The ones who should resign are some of the GOP candidates who are delusional enough to actually believe they are “qualified” to be President. Now that’s “really” scary.

     No credit for Camp David peace accords blaming Carter for Iran is ludicrous it was the CIA placing a Tyrannical Dictator in power that set the stage for a revolution that was inevitable. The Soviets invading Afghanistan on his watch is irrelevant how many countries did they storm into Hungary to Poland under many Presidents watch. Their invasion of Afghanistan was what caused their eventual collapse it bankrupted their finances and morale. Reagan traded hostages for guns with Iran then later flooded American streets with Cocaine in his support of trading arms for drugs with the contras. 9-11 happened on Bush’s watch and the ring leader wasn’t caught till Obama took over. The Bush administration outed a spy which is treason and should be punished by death. The Bush administration also got the us into a war with Iraq because of non-existent WMD’s. I could go on forever. What all you conservatives hate about Carter was he was smart enough to realize we couldn’t go on living the way we were. He understood that renewable energy, fuel efficient vehicles, and conservation were the only way to approach the future. Conservatives odd name for a group that wants to use up natural resources, destroy forests, pollute at will not much conserving there.

    Eric Bolling is spot-on.  Leftist Progressive democrats want us all to deny what we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears.  Congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ plight was tragic, however, she cannot do her job and she must be replaced.  Her rehabilitation will take years and it is possible that she may never fully recover.  The American people should not be required to put up with this politically correct buffoonery.
