New York Sen. Hillary Clinton warned Thursday that she already sees signs of corruption with Republicans firmly in control of the House, the Senate and the White House.
"You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely," Clinton told CNN's "American Morning."
Dropping the bipartisan demeanor she'd adopted for the opening of her husband's presidential library, Clinton said, "I think that we have an administration and Republican leadership that, you know, is very powerful. And power should be handled carefully in a democracy."
Clinton complained that when Republicans were in the minority, "they certainly wanted to apply the harshest of rules to Democratic leaders for so many years."
While calling for a political "truce to all of this back and forth," she added, "let's have rules that apply to everybody."

You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely hillary knows the Stalinist "projection" game better than anyone. She knows her history of corruption is one of her chief vulnerabilities, so she accuses President Dubya and the Republican leadership of it.
Her biggest problem is that she has a rap sheet that goes back to Arkansas. She won't be able to blame her way out of her recorded past. (We'll see to that, eh my friends?)

"You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely," Clinton told CNN's "American Morning." Take it from one who knows. She was in the White House less than three months when she ordered the roasting of over 80 men, women, and children at Mt. Carmel. None of the murderers were ever charged, or even lost a day of pay.

"You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely," Clinton told CNN's "American Morning." Who said she didn't learn anything during all those years when her and Bubba ran Arkansas.
BTW. As I recall, when she and x42 first moved into the White House, they had bigger majorities in both the house and senate than Bush has now.

How many people on the right were subjected to IRS audits for being critical of her husband..??...
How many people on the left have been subjected to IRS audits for being critical of President Bush..??..
The abuse of power was evident during the Klinton years....Not the W years..!

""You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely," Clinton told CNN's "American Morning." The chutzpah of this woman never ceases to amaze me. SHE is talking about "absolute power corrupting absolutely"???? She ought to know. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, that's hilarious. SHE'S talking about that? Too much. Those pesky Clintons just won't go away. They're like bugs. Somebody, give me a can of Raid! God help us all if that woman gets herself and her legally-bound roommate, Bill, back in the White House. God help us all.
