Actually, it’s entirely possible to rain oil after a spill, should a waterspout occur offshore.

See?? This is what I was talking about with regard to the IQ’ of the typical AMessNBC viewer. Only this network would find it necessary to “debunk” the completely idiotic notion that there could actually be the phenomenon of evaporated oil-contained rain.

…and this site congratulates Maddow for amazing bit of journalism. (sigh)

It’s just so damned depressing that there are Americans this stupid..

…speaking of which…did you see the video of the Milwaukee County supervisor who thought AZ was a Great Palins state or something..??

I’ve taught the water cycle to elementary school students. This is something that I taught 8 year olds – when the water evaporates, it’s clean water and nothing else. Nature’s perfect filter, it will even remove food colouring from water.

Barney – go stick your head back in the conservative bubble you live in and allow the grown ups to talk.

You’ve just reinforced my point, you nitwit. This is something the average 8 year old would know

Like when Beck found it necessary to “debunk” the completely idiotic notion that FEMA was constructing death camps?

It’s just so damned depressing that there are Americans this stupid. (I think this whenever I look at Beck’s ratings)

Yawn.

Why is this even an article?

Why is this man talking about raining oil?

So this explains something mentioned by Colbert on Thursday night.

When I heard him say something about raining oil, I hadn’t seen anything about this YouTube, didn’t give it a second thought and to be honest, I hadn’t thought about the idea since, but now that I’ve seen the Maddow report and have gone back to re-view the Colbert clip, I recognize the footage.

Its a good idea to keep reminding the tea party right that the sky is really not falling, except allegorically.

valk, would agree that RM is “da man”?

So, Rachel may get some new colleagues at MSNBC. After the journalists were caught on air smashing Palin after her speech in CA yesterday, Ed Morrisey has this to say:

“If these were opinion journalists, these comments would be no problem. If they’re news reporters expected to render an objective, fact-based report on the event, I’d say that they have a bright future at MSNBC.”

Nice to know that MSNBC’s reputation as being non-objective, non-fact-based reporting….then they are perfect candidates for employment at MSNBC.

Frances: Will you please put up on article about those journalists who were caught on live mic making fun of Palin? And will you please do some investigative reporting and find out who they were? Thanks in advance.

What about acid rain? Anyone trying to downplay the devastation of this disaster should check themselves.

Oil can’t rain but it was believed that the Corexic dispersant would heat up in the gulf, changing it’s properties and allow part of the oil to evaporate.

Oh and TFT: Sorry but people can have an opinion, even news people, those weren’t meant to go on air, just because they disagree with you doesn’t mean they should be fired. Give me a break.

Here’s a link to a Popular Mechanics article about the video and while the scientists they contacted (including NOAA) reached a similar conclusion, I’m don’t know that I’d describe them as having as much conviction as Ms Maddow. Especially in light of the dispersant variable, @Jon mentioned in the previous comment.

…er, and I came across the PM piece, via The Awl.

Speaking of MR. Maddow — happy GAY PRIDE week everyone!!1 Check out these AWESOME comments by the Fox Faithful on my FAVORITE website of all time, FOX NATION (The Most Powerful Name in News Websites!!1)!!1

Karl, I heard you got raped and when the police asked if you could describe your attacker, you said, “Are you crazy? Do you think I have eyes in the back of my head?”

RM, that was not oil, it was the stain of the union workers down in the gulf!

Is she is on?

Alrighty then Rachel debunk this: Meet Kindra
