Heck, just wait for low tide and you could walk out to it.
That is, if it weren’t a fake picture … a really bad fake. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) had no problem trying to fool people into thinking offshore drilling actually occurs onshore though.

Yup. Propaganda is harder with the internet around. RT @seanmdav Fake photos belong to all of us. @SenatorMenendez pic.twitter.com/C8jE6PM905

Oops. There’s the original image, with no oil rig within spitting distance from the shore.
@seanmdav @EdMorrissey @SenatorMenendez So if it belongs to everyone, that includes big oil! We need more oil. #tcot http://t.co/M3jYOCSI6z

@seanmdav @BenK84 @CuffyMeh @SenatorMenendez if the oil was that close you could drill for it in some place not the water

@BenK84 Ocean rigs are much more expensive to operate than land-based. You kinda want to use them where oil is far away. In water
— DaveinTexas (@DaveinTexas) January 27, 2015
@DaveinTexas @BenK84 Yeah, they tend not to operate where they’d by high and dry at low tide. FFS, that picture …

@CuffyMeh @SenatorMenendez Of course no one points out that if the Deepwater Horizon was that close it would have been way easier to fix.
