Ms. Condoleezza Rice
National Security Advisor
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Ms. Rice,
Did anybody tell you they changed the name of that oil tanker that was named after you? That’s right--Chevron renamed its ship, the Condoleezza Rice to the Altair Voyager! I wonder if you knew because they did this last May, and I just found out myself!
I wouldn’t take it personally. It’s all politics! Just because you were on the Chevron board of directors and Chevron had all kinds of human rights violations and the liberals think we started the Iraq war for its oil--that’s no reason to take your name off the ship! I wonder if Gale Norton had anything to do with this. She might be jealous because nobody ever named anything after her.
Don’t worry. I’m sure once you go back to the “private sector,” you can get another oil tanker named after you. Or maybe a fighter pilot.
Who is Altair, anyway?
Sincerely,
Carl Estrada
