Why The Republican Party is Bad for America - #19

Like most members of the Bush administration, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice once served a major oil company. For almost ten years, she was on the board of Chevron, and to honor her the company named a giant, double-hulled oil tanker after her. A few months after her 2001 appointment as national security advisor, this must have seemed too graphic a confirmation of her oil industry bona fides, so the company changed the name of the S.S. Condoleeza Rice to Altair Voyager.
