A great special comment by Shepard Smith.

BP should have the living hell sued out of it. They need to pay for all damages.

The CEO is arrogant and needs to learn this crap won’t stand.

Shemp should tell us where the disaster is? Where is all that oil damage? Shemp is an idiot.

Where’s the oil? Model suggests much may be gone
By CAIN BURDEAU (AP)
NEW ORLEANS — For a spill now nearly half the size of Exxon Valdez, the oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster is pretty hard to pin down.
Satellite images show most of an estimated 4.6 million gallons of oil has pooled in a floating, shape-shifting blob off the Louisiana coast. Some has reached shore as a thin sheen, and gooey bits have washed up as far away as Alabama. But the spill is 23 days old since the Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20 and killed 11 workers, and the thickest stuff hasn’t shown up on the coast.
So, where’s the oil? Where’s it going to end up?
Government scientists and others tracking the spill say much of the oil is lurking just below the surface. But there seems to be no consensus on whether it will arrive in black waves, mostly dissipate into the massive Gulf or gradually settle to the ocean floor, where it could seep into the ecosystem for years.
When it comes to deepwater spills, even top experts rely on some guesswork.
One of their tools, a program the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses to predict how oil spills on the surface of water may behave, suggests that more than a third of the oil may already be out of the water.
About 35 percent of a spill the size of the one in the Gulf, consisting of the same light Louisiana crude, released in weather conditions and water temperatures similar to those found in the Gulf now would simply evaporate, according to data that The Associated Press entered into the program.
The model also suggests that virtually all of the benzene — a highly toxic flammable organic chemical compound and one of the chief ingredients in oil — would be stripped off and quickly vaporize.
The model was not designed for deepwater spills like the one at the Macondo well in the Mississippi Canyon now threatening the Gulf Coast. But experts said the analysis might give a close approximation of what is most likely happening where the oil plume is hitting the surface nearly 50 miles south of Louisiana.
The size and nature of the spill also has been altered by response efforts. So far, about 436,000 gallons of chemicals have been sprayed on the oil to break it up into smaller droplets and about 4 million gallons of oily water have been recovered.
Of that recovered mixture, at least 10 percent is oil, BP and NOAA said. Smaller amounts of oil also have been collected after washing ashore, and crews have burned a negligible quantity off the surface.
That would leave as much as 2.7 million gallons at sea as of Friday, with about 210,000 gallons coming up from the well every day.
The 210,000 gallons figure — specifically, about 5,000 barrels — comes from NOAA and has frequently been cited by BP PLC and the Coast Guard. Some scientists have said based on an analysis of BP’s video of the leak that the flow rate is much higher, while others have concluded the video is too grainy to draw any such conclusions.
Even with computer models and history as guides, uncertainty reigns.

Shep is a class act! Now it appears that BP may have falsified safety tests and knew for years that they had problems. Maybe that is why they requested and received from the Obama administration, a “categorical exclusion” from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an impact study, on April 6, 2009

Shep has become Fox’s resident dufuss.

Sorry, GordonBloyerShow, but you’re totally misguided on this one — and even the article you’re trying to use as a defense is mind-numblingly stupid because even IT admits no one knows what is actually going to happen.

In plain English, you’re reaching for straws right about now.

To quote your article itself: “But there seems to be no consensus on whether it will arrive in black waves, mostly dissipate into the massive Gulf or gradually settle to the ocean floor, where it could seep into the ecosystem for years.” Just minutes ago, on Fox News, they’re now reporting that scientists have detected a plume of oil under the surface that’s freaking 10 miles long by 5 miles wide. And they’re reporting that scientists are already noting that will microbes that exist in the water could help to break the slick up, it will also SERIOUSLY deplete undersea oxygen levels — thus drastically altering the sea life (which in turn will domino outward and wreck the local fishing economy).

And your article even ends by noting “Even with computer models and history as guides, uncertainty reigns.” Translation: again, no one knows anything about what is REALLY going to happen here.

Any way you try to spin it, this is a major ecological disaster. Hey, I’m a die-hard conservative, but even I’m willing to say that BP, Haliburton or other companies that were involved with this fiasco need to be sued out the ass, and certain company officials need to be hung out to dry.

So, bravo to Shep for standing up for the people of his home region, and for doing what a GOOD reporter should always do — cast light on a story that should NOT be allowed to be swept under the carpet by corporate interests.

Obama and the BP CEO should have to lick up all the oil

Poor Shepard is trying desperately to get some attention. Even Greta Van Susteren beats the pants off this tool and she isn’t even a “journalist.” But then, neither is Shep.

@gordonbloyershow My goodness, you are stupid, stupid man! Did you READ the article you posted? All it says is that no one knows where the oil is going to end up. You seem to be posting this as “proof” that it has somehow disappeared, just vanished. Yeah, that Shep Smith sure is an idiot!

Where’s the damage you ask? Well, Gordon, has anybody checked the vast uncharted wetlands between your ears?

I know this is hard for you nitwits to understand, WHERE is the damage, NOT the HOPED for damage. I did not post the entire article above, I didn notice you picked out the parts that fit your agenda.
Here is the rest.

Doug Helton, the operations coordinator for NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration, said the agency was uncertain how much oil would sink to the bottom. For now, most of it is near the surface.
“This oil is coming from the sea floor and coming up to the surface in droplets and then once it comes to the surface it re-coelesces as a slick,” he said.
Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University chemist who’s analyzed the spill for NOAA, said he thinks most of the oil is within a foot of the surface.
“Ultimately, you could have a lot of oil on the shoreline. It won’t be a black tide coming in, it will be globs coming ashore,” he said.
“It’s going to be a long, slow summer.”
Wilma Subra, a chemist and MacArthur Fellow affiliated with the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, said there was a risk that the effort to break up the oil with dispersants would simply sweep it to the ocean bottom and contaminate the food chain, a possibility that has shrimpers on edge.
Merv Fingas, who has studied oil spills for 35 years and has worked for Environment Canada, that nation’s environmental agency, predicted a bit of both: some would wash up, and some would stick to sediment and mud and sink slowly to the bottom, much of it likely settling near the spewing well.
“That’s the fate of a lot of oil spills: sedimentation on the bottom,” Fingas said.
Overton disagreed, saying the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill is too light to sink all the way.
A common refrain among experts and officials is that every oil spill is unique.
Larry McKinney, director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said the Deepwater Horizon spill reminds him of the last catastrophic oil flood in the Gulf.
In 1979, Mexico’s Ixtoc I in the western Gulf blew out and spewed about 420,000 gallons of oil a day for nine months. Large quantities of oil did not reach Texas beaches.
“This was a problem we ran into with Ixtoc, we never found the oil,” McKinney said. “But I think even today if you dig down in some sandy beaches you can find a layer of Ixtoc oil.”

The REAL point is that we should not stop drilling because of a potential spill. The longer the oil remains at sea the more it will dissapate. I know this a big disappointment to the enviromental wackos.

Oh, bullshit. The real point is that you have Right Wing Tourette’s. You enjoy pissing people, but you don’t enjoy thinking.

Look, I’m no fan of Sarah Palin, but I thought she made a pretty good point about why we should drill, and then she made a good point about how the companies need to be held accountable, and how the government needs to be more vigilant.

We can’t predict what’s going to happen in the Gulf. That’s what your article says, over and over, therefore it proves nothing. Whatever happens in the gulf, if we don’t have oil our economy is going to hit a brick wall. Everybody needs oil, Republicans and Democrats. There are plenty of non-stupid arguments you could make about why we need to keep drilling. Will you please try to show us all that much respect next time? If not, you’re going to be very easy to ignore in the future.

If you think people in the Gulf region and the rest of America would have slept without a fight against a mismanaged the result of what your company has done to our Gulf and our people, you're horribly wrong.

While I don’t disagree with anything Shep said, I find his Olbermann-esque special comment to be troubling. It reeked of Olbermann just without the “Sir!” in every sentence. I hope to God this doesn’t become a habit.

Also seriously deplete levels of oxygen submarines – and radically change the life of the sea (which, in turn Domino abroad and ruining the local fishing economy.

I am very proud about this activity of community.BP does claims to fix it well.By the time they finish pretending that they’re “on the case”, the well will be empty and the gulf will be a lifeless wasteland, and once again, the American taxpayer will be on the hook for the cleanup, courtesy of the bought the
