Yesterday, Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), had a classic quote that bears highlighting.  Referring to the Republican-controlled Congress and the Abramoff scandals, Flake said, "The problem is that power corrupts, and we simply have too much of it." 

Boy, you can sure say that again Jeff!  The only thing is that I'd tweak it slightly to read, "The problem is that UNCHECKED power corrupts, and REPUBLICANS simply have too much of it."  I'd also issue a prescription:  turn Congress over to the Democrats this November, to restore the system of "checks and balances" that our Founding Fathers set up so carefully, ever vigilant about "absolute power corrupting absolutely."
