From the (currently) front page artice on what was taking up Condi's time, pre-9/11:
"Ms. Rice also created a hierarchical, corporate style in which she largely delegated policy development to others. To oversee the creation of a new strategy on counterterrorism, she relied on her deputy, Stephen J. Hadley. For Ms. Rice, in part, that preserved time to concentrate on issues more familiar to her, to tutor Mr. Bush and to translate his instincts and decisions into policy."
I don't know how to put in bold, so I'll say it like this: TUTOR MR. BUSH??!!
