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."

Just STFU, bitch.
(Sorry, but I've had about enough of this kind of hypocrisy, totally ignored by the MSM, which is surprising when you consider how into irony they are....)

First of all, can someone tell this newbie how to post a picture?The HTML Campfire - Great info from helpful FReepers on HTML basics, including image posting.
Second, is that really Hillary?
Yep, unretouched photo as far as I know.

I lived in Arkansas for a while, during the Clinton governorship. It seems they didn't care for the Klintoons much at that time. The Legacy Media did a masterful job of ignoring their unpopularity in their own state while he ran for the presidency.

ON FEBRUARY 11, 1998, Hillary Clinton told reporters that the Internet needed an "editing" or "gatekeeping" function. The World Wide Web was out of control, she said. It needed to be reined in. Hillary neglected to mention at the press conference that she had already been waging a secret war to silence Internet dissidents for the last four years.
