Chevron redubs ship named for Bush aide. “Leaving a wave of controversy in its wake, one of
the most visible reminders of the Bush
administration’s ties to big oil – the 129,000-ton
Chevron tanker Condoleezza Rice – has quietly
been renamed, Chevron officials acknowledged
yesterday.

… The giant vessel was part of the international fleet
of the San Francisco- based multinational oil firm,
christened several years ago in honor of Rice, a
longtime Chevron board member. Rice, a former
Stanford University provost, served on Chevron’s
board from 1991 until Jan. 15, when she
resigned after Bush named her his top national
security aide. ” SF Chronicle
