I was wondering whether this Weiner was in charge when Sandy Burglar went fishin....apparently not, because he was only recently appointed. But a google search sends me to 'the Nation' (feh!) and this article that states that in 2004, Bush and his father were afraid that Bush would lose the election, so they wanted Weiner in there to screen the records for bad info re: 9/11.

'Why, then, has the White House nominated a new archivist? Many speculate that George W. Bush, as well as his father, thinks the younger Bush may lose the election, and they want their man in control of their archives before that happens. The new archivist will deal with access to the papers of the 9/11 Commission after it closes up shop in August and with the release of the archives of the presidency of Bush Senior, which, under the Presidential Records Act, can be made public starting in 2005 (except, of course, for classified documents). These records include, for example, documents on Bush Senior's role in the Iran/contra scandal of the late 1980s, when he was Reagan's Vice President. And if Bush Junior does lose the election, the new archivist would have a third new task: appointing a director for the Bush Junior presidential archives. '


heh-heh, it never stops, and will keep going til there's no one left...

update - the funniest thing about THIS picture

is that the archivist Weiner replaced John Carlin, the archivist that allowed Sandy Berger to take out the memos (at Clintoon's bidding, no doubt).
