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."

my, my. she's such a brilliant lady; she probably knows everything. when voting time comes again, i'm going to vote for her and write her name in wherever i see an open, elective, political position. she could probably solve the problems of humanity in about fourty five minutes. (what fools these mortals be. don't they know that the most brilliant human in the world is here to take care of us? oh!, why won't they wake up!) (sarcasm button now off)

My husband listed to this interview. She's already claiming to be a "moderate". Her makeover has begun. Is this what the phrase "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear" refers to? The cloven hooves fit, anyway. LOL!

"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." And in a Constitutional Republic. Sorry Hilliary you plan of turning our country into a Democracy didn't work.
Power will be handled in the proper way now that your Democrats aren't wielding it.
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."
Yes, we wanted you to follow the rules.
You couldn't, so the American Voters told you quite well.
While calling for a political "truce to all of this back and forth," she added, "let's have rules that apply to everybody."
Well, there is a possibility of that now that your party isn't applying rules only to the opposition.
Pure projection on her part as usual.
Oh, and JAO, read your screen name kind of fast and got Just A Not Her Okie...

OK - that pic of Hill in the blue dress is freaking me out. It reminds me of some weird sci-fi flick -- her face looks like it's going to pop off or something.

Dear Hillary;
we don't live in a democracy. What part of the pledge of allegiance don't you understand? "..and for The Republic, etc., etc."

"You know, absolute power corrupts absolutely," Clinton told CNN's "American Morning." You mean like the instant corruption of saying "That's our Air Force now", at the first inauguration ceremony for your First Rapist?
What Republican has ever been mindless enough to consider the National Air Force as "personal"?

Hillary Clinton has glanced up from trading cattle futures to dash off a quick ethical directive to the peasants.
