Paul O'Neill disses Bush on "60"

January 9, 2004

PRESIDENT BUSH CONDUCTED CABINET MEETINGS "LIKE A BLIND MAN IN A ROOMFUL OF DEAF PEOPLE" SAYS FORMER TREASURY SECRETARY PAUL O'NEILL IN AN EXCLUSIVE "60 MINUTES" INTERVIEW

-- SUNDAY ON CBS

President Bush was so disengaged in cabinet meetings that he "was like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people," says former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill in his first interview about his time as a White House insider. O'Neill speaks to Lesley Stahl for a report to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Jan. 11 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

O'Neill, fired by the White House for his disagreement on tax cuts, is the main source for an upcoming book, The Price of Loyalty, authored by Ron Suskind. In it, Suskind builds an insider's picture of the White House drawn on interviews with O'Neill, dozens of other Bush administration insiders and 19,000 documents provided by O'Neill.

A lack of dialogue, according to O'Neill, was the norm in cabinet meetings he attended. The president "was like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people," O'Neill is quoted saying in the book. It was similar in one-on-one meetings, says O'Neill. Of his first such meeting with the president, O'Neill says "I went in with a long list of things to talk about and, I thought, to engage [him] on...I was surprised it turned out me talking and the president just listening...It was mostly a monologue," he tells Stahl.

In the interview with Stahl, O'Neill also reveals new information about key economic and foreign policy discussions within the Bush administration that took place during his two years there, including decisions on what to do about Saddam Hussein and how far to go with tax cuts.

Suskind, of course, wrote the notorious Esquire story about the White House inner circle in which the Bushies were dubbed "the Mayberry Machiavellis."
