ALAN GRAYSON, a Democratic Congressman from Florida (see story), likening former Vice President Dick Cheney to a vampire after Cheney criticized President Barack Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan...

He celebrated his inaugural Mass in Boston at a Spanish service, and he once joked that his scarlet Cardinal's robes would come in handy if Dick Cheney ever invited him to go hunting.

"The essentials are the same: these are the issues that are impacting Middle America that are being ignored by the majority, and if you elect us, they won't be left out," says Dick Armey, a former Republican House majority leader...
