1. Read the book:

The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill
Ron Suskind (Author)

You'll get the whole story in detail.

4. One of the very best books of all time that concerns the Bush

administration. Probably the only person in the Bush administration who can be trusted: Paul O'Neil.

10. I read the book when it was first published and was FURIOUS.

Remember how O'Neil started to back pedal in some of his first interviews when the media started asking questions about the book's contents? You just KNOW that Karl Rove got to him and probably threatened him with who knows what.

O'Neill described Bush as "incurious" and the conclusion the reader reached was that he either

a) didn't care about the subject at hand because he had already decided his course..

or

b) was too stupid to ask an intelligent question and feared revealing his ignorance.
