He slicks down his hair with stickum, sports a villainous-looking waxed mustache and favors wildly eccentric clothes-velveteen suits, ruffled shirts, patent-leather shoes and satin-lined capes. But despite his outlandish appearance, Dapper Dan Flood, 74, has amassed immense power in his 30 years on Capitol Hill. As a member of the so-called College of Cardinals-the 13 Appropriation subcommittee chairmen -he can influence a large share of the federal budget and direct as much...
