John Dean on Dangerous Presidents

John Dean, former counsel to President Nixon, has written a disturbing essay on "If Past is Prologues, George Bush is Becoming an Increasingly Dangerous President." Here's a quote:

If there is no "October Surprise," I would be shocked. And if it is not a high-risk undertaking, it would be a first. Without such a gambit, and the public always falls for them, Bush is going to lose control of Congress. Should that happen, his presidency will have effectively ended, and he will spend the last two years of it defending all the mistakes he has made during the first six, and covering up the errors of his ways.
