Republicans could still brag about the re-election of Mississippi's first-term G.O.P. Governor Kirk Fordice.

Known for its thriftiness, Disney hates being made to look like a typical, money-burning Hollywood studio, and a few days after Allen made his remarks, he received a curt memo from headquarters. Never brag about Disney's use of corporate jets, the company's biggest star next to Simba the Lion was told; don't even mention corporate jets and Disney in the same sentence. Now, some stars might have thrown a fit -- or got their agent to do it for them. But Allen...
