Newsweek says the shrub has a reputation for being a "rigorous
delegator." Please explain how that is different from being a lazy incompetent idiot who never had an original thought in his life?

1. how do you rigorously delegate something?
I could see rigorously reviewing something you delegated out to subordinates... but, rigorously delegating?

6. I know, I know!!!!
That is code for a blowhard in charge who gives orders that sound something like this: "I don't care how the fuck you get it done, DO IT!! NOW!!!! OR ELSE!!! And I do not wanna SEE your ASS unless and UNTIL IT IS DONE!!! And it BETTER BE DONE BY TOMMORROW!!!!!! Now get the hell out of my face!!!"

That's rigorous delegation....!

8. It means throwing work at people as fast as you can...
because you're too lazy and stupid to do it yourself.

9. It is possible...
My old boss was like that, incompetent and always eager to have someone else do their job.

and * ain't having none of that.

5. being a rigorous delegator is a great idea as president, but not when you
are delegating to incompetent cronies.

10. Yeah....
"delegating" was the excuse they used for Ronnie Raygun in IranContra, too. You would think they would come up with something new.

18. Perhaps it means being very thoughtful and deliberate about whom
you delegate everything to, based on how illegal it is and how much you trust them.

22. Reminds me of "Scrubbing Bubbles" commercial on TV years ago
"They work hard so I don't have tooooooooo."
I have met a few people like this. Great at delegating to others. Heaven forbid that they lift some of the load themselves. Was this what * learned at Harvard Business School? After all it is a form of management.
