...begun to swell with people nominated purely for their celebrity rather than any loftier merits. That list grew further, Thursday, when President Nicolas Sarkozy conferred the title on Canadian singer Céline Dion, welcoming her into the company of Alexis de Tocqueville, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Gustave Flaubert, Alexander Graham Bell and Albert Dreyfus - and also Jerry Lewis. Not surprisingly, some observers suggest that the contrast in achievements of its various honorees has cheapened the medal to the point of self-parody...
...lobbying in 2007 and its political action committees have donated more than $145,000 to House and Senate campaigns since 2005.

Flanked by fellow Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, McCain noted they'd undertaken their week long fact-finding tour of Iraq, Jordan, Israel, England and France as members of Congress's Armed Services committee - not as some sort of campaign foreign road show. Perhaps, but discussing international affairs with foreign leaders and enhancing McCain's presidential hopes aren't mutually exclusive. Still, McCain...
