...This behavior is more than tiresome, because there is no reason to believe there's a real link between their troubles and their talents. An off-stage battle with booze or drugs doesn't necessarily add depth or soul to their performances. On the contrary, the history of show business is replete with sad stories that are redeemed by disciplined hard work. Plenty of stars refuse to trade on their hard-knock lives; they entertain us, not by forcing us to wallow in their miseries, but by causing us to forget our own for an hour...

The Washington Times has reported that the Republican National Committee has seen its small-donor contributions fall 40% since the immigration debate began in earnest last month, and that staffers link the decline directly to the issue: "Every donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99% of them immigration is the No. 1 issue." McCain, a co-author of the compromise legislation, is alone among the front-runners for the G.O.P. nomination who supports it. In his speech...
