Funny. I’m a Global Warming Denier, and I’ve never been stuck drunk and naked anywhere.

I better get with the program.

TexasDan on June 9, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Crazy, huh? Yeah, thanks for that Shep.

CP on June 9, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Isn’t Shep the guy who attacked someone during the 2000 recount and got arrested?

lorien1973 on June 9, 2008 at 10:44 PM

Shep,
Check the bulletin board. Maybe there’s an opening for a camera-ready, blow-dry at CNN. Hope so.

whitetop on June 9, 2008 at 10:44 PM

Nice, Shep. Just alienate over half the audience by calling them crazy. Good job.

Terri on June 9, 2008 at 10:45 PM

Is he trying to get on Letterman’s show again?

jencab on June 9, 2008 at 10:45 PM

WWWWWHAT?

First the eeeeevil knuckle dap, now this? What the heck is goin’ on over there at Fox?

Tony737 on June 9, 2008 at 10:45 PM

I think I’ll worry about Global Warming about as much as I worried about Y2K–not at all.

RBMN on June 9, 2008 at 10:46 PM

What a complete fool. Here’s a guy who probably can’t even spell science telling people with scientific backgrounds, like myself, who are rightly skeptical that we are akin to drunken fools who get themselves locked in porta-potties. This is what living in the Manhattan echo chamber does to people.

TheBigOldDog on June 9, 2008 at 10:46 PM

Figures. I deliberately turn off FOX when he’s on and he shows up here.

Connie on June 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM

Shep, the guy who only knows how to speak in hyperbole, is calling me crazy.

Weight of Glory on June 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM

Gotta admit though, it did feel global waming today in the North East. But other parts of the country (and the world) are at or below average temps, and some are above, so what? I wish I could remember who said this first here on H.A.: “What tempature is the planet suppossed to be?

Tony737 on June 9, 2008 at 10:49 PM

So the globe warms and cools. What of it Shep? What’s crazy is blaming it on me. BTW I wasn’t responsible for any of the ice ages either. Really, look it up.

Spirit of 1776 on June 9, 2008 at 10:50 PM

oooops! It did feel LIKE global warming in the N.E. TODAY.

Shep came out of the nut job lib closet during Katrina if you didn’t notice. Ever since then I don’t watch him. He’s a mole.

warriorlawyer on June 9, 2008 at 11:01 PM

I wish I had something better to say but simply put, Shep is just a moron.

Claypigeon on June 9, 2008 at 11:02 PM

For a fella who has the eyes of an owl, I’m not surprised that such garbage comes out of his piehole.

I think he sits on a dildo during his show.

Do you see the smile on his face?

He’s always smiling and happy.

Indy Conservative on June 9, 2008 at 11:05 PM

Huh.

I know it’s been hot on the East Coast, but we’re begging for a little warming here in Seattle. Today’s weather here? Rainy, windy, high of 56 degrees.

custer on June 9, 2008 at 11:12 PM

I always ask the global warming believers this question. Though they claim to have read all the science on this topic, not a single one has ever correctly answered it.
“What percentage of the atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide?”
I swear to god they usually guess around 10%. Correct answer? About .038% Of which man only contributes about 1%. The number that could be reduced even through the wildest restriction program is only 10% of that 1 percent. The amount is infinitesimally small.

redshirt on June 9, 2008 at 11:12 PM

Such OUTRAGE.

So much for soccer fans being bad..

Reaps on June 9, 2008 at 11:14 PM

Wow. Nobody knows what Shep will say next.

christophercube on June 9, 2008 at 11:26 PM

Gee Shep, that didn’t get much of a laugh, guess the jokes on you.

Maxx on June 9, 2008 at 11:26 PM

I don’t like the jab, and I rest easy knowing that these smarmy sunzuhguns will be proved wrong one day when the world grows a little more sane.

Shep still holds a special place in my heart from this episode.

Luckily, we conservatives are outbreeding these guys in something like three-to-one numbers, so I will patiently bide my time and wait for the quiet reclamation of the silent majority.

Viewtifulgare on June 9, 2008 at 11:30 PM

You’ll have to excuse Shep. He learned about global warming in global warming school….when he read about global warming school… in a book.

MrC_5150 on June 9, 2008 at 11:34 PM

Could have been worse.

His mother could have named him after Curly or Moe.

Sorry,when I see Shep,I do the same as when Jerry Rivers comes on Fox -save some electricity and listen to some Beck or Levin on the radio

gzelmiami on June 9, 2008 at 11:49 PM

I hear that Fox News used to do the news once upon a time.

hillbillyjim on June 9, 2008 at 11:50 PM

You know… I’m tired…

Tired of being called racist for being white…

Tired of being called sexist because I’m a guy…

Tired of being told “you don’t understand” by my teenage daughter…

And really tired of Shep calling me crazy, and comparing me to a drunk stuck in a porta potty, because I happen to know somthing about the scientific principle.

Well… email will be sent to Fox tomorow… calling for shep to either appologize, or resign.

Romeo13 on June 9, 2008 at 11:52 PM

Shep was an eyewitness when Global Warming went on a rape and murder spree in New Orleans.

Shep is rapidly replacing Geraldo as idiot of the year.

–the NYT admits we’re winning the war,
–WaPo admits Bush didn’t lie, &

Yep ! ! I can’t stand the guy. He was halfway OK
at one point. . .Then he fell in love with HIMSELF.

Texyank on June 10, 2008 at 12:15 AM

Back on topic, Fox has to keep the likes of Colmes, Shep, and Rivera to maintain their “Fair and balanced motto”. Even though I don’t agree with some of their comments, (sound of nails scratching against a blackboard) it’s the way that Fox is now considered by most to be above the MSM.
On the negative-positive side, those hot babes that they hire make it hard for me to concentrate an the actual news.

gzelmiami on June 10, 2008 at 12:16 AM

I think he sits on a dildo during his show.

Do you see the smile on his face?

He’s always smiling and happy.

Indy Conservative on June 9, 2008 at 11:05 PM

Erm, Evita? The fact that you think “sitting on a dildo” when you see a guy smiling and happy says more about you than him.

Tired of being told “you don’t understand” by my teenage daughter…

Romeo13 on June 9, 2008 at 11:52 PM

That’s a good thing. You should worry if she tells you that you DO understand.

misterpeasea on June 10, 2008 at 12:17 AM

Really Shep??, Global Warming has been scientifically proven eh? Oh, and by the way, they’re calling it “Climate Change” now, because lately it’s been cooling down a bit, probably not unlike your ratings and creditability.

Connie on June 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM

Heh.

I have solved that problem for the most part by simply never watching Fox. They have this liberal weenie, Geraldo the Flying Illegal, Bozo Bill O, a lot of girls in skirts that don’t quite fit, and … OK, I’ll give you that last one.

Jaibones on June 10, 2008 at 12:32 AM

Take the time and write the people at Fox a note on the comment. At the very least, if enough write, you could (I know unlikely but you could) get an apology.

Just sayin, you should voice your opinion on his comment.

Hey, more likely you could get him fired. Crazy’r things have happened.

Why would you want to get someone fired?
He made a stupid dum-assed comment.
We all do, but by all means make your opinion be made.
However by having leftist leaning commentators, Fox is maintaining a stronghold in the cable news media. Where once CNN was all the sheep stared at (Besides ABC,NBC,CBS),we now have an abundance of information sources. IMHO I believe it’s necessary to have everyone voicing their opinions, however stupid they might be. For if there were none, it would be so boring. Long live Code Pink and the Berkley Loons!!!

Shep needs to bleach his hair platinum blond. It would match his PoV.

He’s a cutie but .. good lord .. at some point intellect trumps a pretty face with a southern drawl!

Texas Gal on June 10, 2008 at 1:01 AM

It’s time to replace Shep with Bill Schulz (from Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld).

soundingboard on June 10, 2008 at 1:05 AM

@gzelmiami,

See it is one thing for people to voice their opinions here, but if they never get back to Fox, it really is just talking to the choir.

Will he be fired, probably not. But if it gives the push to have people voice their opinions in places that actually matter….

To me, much like many if he is willing to voice his opinion and stop being a journalist and become an advocate that is where I start believing that people need to step up and let their ideas be known.

If the only people to contact Fox commend his statement, then they will feel that is ok. If there is a number of people that dont agree, then hopefully they will learn and not be so quick to dismiss the other side.

Maybe saying fired is too strong, maybe not. Maybe it will get someone to send an email to Fox and let them know they are not Crazy for not jumping on the Green Bandwagon.

redshirt on June 9, 2008 at 11:12 PM

“What percentage of the atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide?” … About .038% Of which man only contributes
about 1%.

Neither or which is relevant… anthropogenic emissions are demonstrably responsible for the 30-35% increase in CO2 concentrations since the beginning of the industrial age, and CO2 is a trace gas but is responsible for up to 25% of the atmospheric greenhouse effect.

That’s not to say that the doomsday scenarios pedaled by the likes of Al Gore are credible–or even that warming is a problem at all–but it is silly fallacy to pretend that it is ignorable simply because CO2 is “only” 380ppm.

And it is, absolutely, the realm of nutjobs to claim that the earth hasn’t warmed at all. There isn’t a single reputable scientist who would even pretend to support such an assertion.

DaveS on June 10, 2008 at 2:00 AM

B3 on June 10, 2008 at 1:09 AM
B3 I don’t think you got the jist of my comment. We, that have not been indoctrinated by the Gore mania know that its all bullshot. But the fact that pretty boy shep can make his idiot comment on FNC, gives the network the credibility it needs not to be seen by the masses as a right wing, Repubican, mouthpiece. But as I stated, by all means let ‘m know how you feel.
All in all, if we don’t vote to keep Obama away from the White House,we’re all going to hell in a hand basket!
