Now Paperless To Serve You Better! 

Faced with demands not to destroy White House emails and account for several million which had gone missing, the Bush Administration ran out the clock. The Bush White House variously claimed there wasn’t a problem, to be working on the problem, and unsure that there was a problem.

Then they all turned into pumpkins and scurried out of town along with the Archivist of the United States, leaving the National Archives and Obama Administration to clean up the mess.

We now learn that some 22 million missing emails have been found, with prospects of more in the woods. But whatever is now found goes into the catacombs of Archives’ Presidential Library system, with all the slow delights that promises. And leaving Bush free to roam about presenting sunny memories  unsullied by actual facts.

The Washington Post turns for missing papers perspective to “Scott Stanzel, a former Bush White House spokesman”

Scotty is just so weary of the whole thing, and blames litigators the Committee for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington:

“CREW ‘has consistently tried to create a spooky conspiracy out of standard [information technology] issues. Their misleading statements about our work demonstrates their continued anti-Bush agenda, nearly a year after a new president was sworn in.“

Bias perhaps demonstrated by being not impressed with Scotty’s own role in the saga, offering vague assurances and misdirection until it became someone else’s problem.
