Hindenburg the Wiemar politician, or Hindenburg the blimp?

Either would fit.

Nitpicking SCNR :-)

Hindenburg the Wiemar politician, or Hindenburg the blimp?

"Weimar", not "Wiemar".
The Hindenburg wasn't a blimp. It had a framework.

It's probably a reference to Steven Colbert

Some people say changing the cabinet around is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. That's not true; this administration isn't sinking. In fact, this administration is soaring; if anything, it's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg.

To really appreciate it, you have to see the video, with Bush nodding with approval at the first part.
