Meanwhile Romney, the true prince, plays the insurgent--even though this outsider owns a hunk of Jeb Bush's political operation, various A-list media consultants, a G.O.P. brand name and a gilded Rolodex. Running on the theme of bringing change to Washington is a little awkward when his party has been running it for most of the past seven years.

...there no heroes anymore? This week, a fella named Donald Trump arose to save Miss USA from the gutter. "After days of headlines about her underage drinking, failed cocaine test, nightclub bathroom antics, and incessant hunk-hunting in Big Apple hotspots," as the New York Post put it, surely young Tara Conner, a small-town Kentucky girl grooving overly on the Big Apple, would be stripped (ooh) of what the New York Daily News called "her $17,500 Mikimoto pearl-dotted tiara...
