"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." (Lord Acton - 1887)
In light of McCain's self-centered actions surrounding the bailout last week it's time Lord Acton's dictum was updated.
In McCain's case, perhaps it should read "Power tends to corrupt; the appetite for power corrupts one's honor absolutely. Ambition is no substitute for greatness."
