New Hebrew word named for Condeleezza Rice- "Lecondel"
"The long build-up to Annapolis, together with Rice's many trips to
the region, have given birth to a new verb in Israeli government
circles: "lecondel," based on Rice's first name. People say that they
don't have time to "lecondel" - meaning, to come and go for meetings
that produce few results."
Lecondel means----> "Meetings that Accomplish Nothing"
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.
"We made the change to eliminate the unnecessary attention caused by
the vessel's original name," said Chevron spokesman Fred Gorell.
The double-hulled, Bahamian-registered oil tanker carrying the moniker
of Bush's national security adviser was renamed the Altair Voyager,
after a star, Gorell said.
