And last night BOR called it the greatest environmental catastrophe America has ever known.
I’d tell Mascara Boy to kiss my @ss, but I suspect he’d enjoy it too much. So I won’t.
Shep is a drama queen.
Bp is limited by law to $75M in damages. The Feds are panicked after they read the law. All this oil totally disappears in salt water . It takes about 56 days. The main thing ids DRILL !! I want my two big SUVs to run cheap!!
It’s serious, no doubt about it—but the worst EVER? Perhaps they should do a little reading about how much oil was spilled by sinking vessels in the 1939-45 timeframe, or how much oil leaked from automobiles is washed away into our lakes, rivers, and oceans.
I take it that Shep fills some “metrosexual” liberal quota at Fox News. Or did Geraldo get him his job?
Not the first time Shep has acted stupidly.
Sissy Shep Smith is just doing the bidding of his 10% Saudi bosses at Fox News. The Saudis do not want their serfs in the emerging Zimbabwe-Merica drilling their own oil or nat gas.
That Shep, she is such a drama queen
Maybe he can report rumor and innuendo like he did in Katrina. Hell he could say the walk in freezers at the Superdome are full of dead bodies like he did before. Shep is an Uber-drama queen.
As a Gulf Coaster and who works in the enrgy industry... I agree with Shep’s rant for once. The one thing he didn’t rant on was the Obama Admin allowing BP to NOT present a “blow-out” plan in 2009. Obama gave BP a pass.
The upper Gulf Coast is going to get wiped out with crude oil and tar. I love the Gulf Coast, can’t believe this is happening. Destroyed. Freepers, send prayers our way...
No doubt Shep is jockeying to be on Obama’s short list to replace Gibbs.........
If I were BP Executive Tony Hayward, I wouldn’t be parking in Shep’s parking spot anytime soon...
You are the Drama Queen,
Shepard Smith,
You’re a Drama Queen

Shep needs his butt kicked. What a weasel. I have no idea why Fox keeps him.
It’s not even a big problem!
The Pacific coastal waters from Santa Barbara to Mexico dumped that juck daily for thousands of years until the drilled and relieved the gas pressure and it still boils up daily but not nearly as much.
In the 40s and early 50s there wasnp[t a beach south of Santa Barbara you couldn’t go on without getting coveered with tar.
It never hurt a thing except being messy.
What a disaster Shep is. Why does Fox keep him on? I refuse to watch him.
Tony Hayward is correct.
Shepard Smith is a moron.
I was wondering how big this oil spill was, so I put electrons to spreadsheet and came up with this:
There are 43,560 square feet in 1 acre.
1 cubic foot will hold 7.5 gallons.
Therefore, 1 acre of land, filled to a depth of 1 foot can hold about 319,000 gallons.
The highest estimate I have seen (so far) is 3.4 million gallons per day being leaked into the gulf. That means that 10.7 acres of land covered to a depth of 1 foot will contain all the oil that is leaked each day.
This has been going on for a little over a month now, so that’s a little over 320 acres. There are 640 acres in one square mile, so in one month, the leak can be contained by covering one half of a square mile to a depth of one foot.
The gulf covers a total of 615,000 square miles.
