F-ing Liars

Yes, there were oil spills from Hurricane Katrina.

Houston Chronicle:

Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters unleashed 1 million gallons of oil from one of the massive storage tanks at Murphy Oil’s nearby refinery. The spill spread over 1 square mile and stained 1,700 homes, making it one of the largest environmental spills to occur in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

But it was far from the only one.

A Houston Chronicle review of data from the National Response Center shows that the two storms caused at least 595 spills, incidents that released untold amounts of oil, natural gas and other chemicals into the air, onto land and into the water.

And yet, our "liberal media" continues to host guests that spew nonsense about Katrina not causing a single drop of oil to be spilled.

    Speaking of fairy tales…….
    I also heard that the Chineese are drilling for oil just off the coast of Cuba.

    Actually, the claim is that the oil was not spilled from offshore oil rigs, not from anywhere in the entire process of bringing oil to market. Reality is that that refinery would have leaked whether the oil was coming from Florida or Dubai, no?

    It’s possible that at least one or two of those 595 incidents involved an off-shore oil rig, no?
