Shep Smith Loses His Patience Over BP CEO’s ‘Beyond Snotty’ Remarks

video
» 9 comments

I think it’s safe to say that Shep Smith is not impressed with BP Oil’s response to last month’s devastating Gulf Oil spill. During a Studio B segment this afternoon about today’s Capitol Hill hearing on drilling, Shep expressed his disgust over the “snotty” statement of BP head Tony Hayward that the company would “honor legitimate claims…this is America, come on, we’re going to have lots of illegitimate claims. We all know that.” Really? Shep was not happy with that response.

Said Shep to the reporter who had interviewed Hayward: “Sometimes the written word doesn’t give you the tone that it was involved. But when I looked at it it looked like he was just being beyond snotty…did it sound like that?” Short answer: Not a lot was lost in translation. Fortunately you don’t need translator to gauge Shep’s contempt. Video below.

    He thinks that the British are bad. Wait until the Chinese who are planning to slant drill off the coast of Fla. Cause a mess. It could be even more of an environmental hazard since China is not as concerned about or equipped to deal with any potential ecological disaster as a result of a spill!

    Shep at his snarkiest. I love it! Everyone involved in this project should go down.

    Even after this tragedy, according to McClatchy:

    “the Obama administration has granted oil and gas companies at least 27 exemptions from doing in-depth environmental studies of oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico.”

    I can see BO and company are really serious about this mess.

    Not much has been lost in translation. Fortunately you do not need a translator to measure the contempt of Shep.

    Shemp needs to go back with Curley and Moe. I think he is still fighting some lady over his parking spot. He came out of the closet with his coverage of Katrina. He needs to move to CNN.
