Snow crash?

December 10, 2002 by Scott Rosenberg

Does anyone else find it odd that, when it came time for the Bush administration to replace Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill — a CEO of an old-line industry who worked with Dick Cheney in the Ford administration days — it chose John Snow: CEO of an old-line industry who worked with Dick Cheney in the Ford administration days? (It seems the answer is yes: Business Week asks a similar question.) Snow, we’re told, is smoother than O’Neill, who quickly developed a reputation as a loose cannon. If that’s wrong, and Snow turns out to be another O’Neill in this regard too, we have a new nickname for the Bush White House: Cheney’s zanies.
