"In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development. I think there is too much concentration of power in the Kremlin. I have told the Russians that. Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary. There are clearly questions about the independence of the electronic media and there are, I think, questions about the strength of the Russian parliament." - Condoleezza Rice describing the Russian government under Vladimir Putin.

When you consider all the power grabs by the Bush administration and the blatant disregard for our system of checks and balances, I can see this coming back to bite her in the ass.

That's the beauty of being an appointee. You get to point at the guy they elected and say DON'T LOOK AT ME MAN, IT'S HIS BALL.

Well, lessee:

"In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development. I think there is too much concentration of power in the White House. I have told the American people that. Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the Supreme Court. There are clearly questions about the independence of the electronic media and there are, I think, questions about the strength of Congress."

Yup, that works.

Vlad Putin must be chuckling to himself right now.
