Not good news for the embattled prez...which makes this piece by John Dean all the more chilling. Finding that Bush falls into the James Dave Barber-defined category of an "active/negative," and bearing in mind that he must feel like a cornered rat on the sinking ship that is his administration, Dean predicts that "As the 2006 midterm elections approach, this active/negative president can be expected to take further risks."
If anyone doubts that Bush, Cheney, Rove and their confidants are planning an "October Surprise" to prevent the Republicans from losing control of Congress, then he or she has not been observing this presidency very closely. |
