The 77-year-old Pennsylvania Republican came in second to some guy from the parody newspaper The Onion at a charity event Wednesday night, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Thursday. Most of the performers at the event, which benefited VH-1's Save the Music Foundation and the Institute of Musical Traditions, were much younger and also were members of the media.

Here's one of his hits: Democratic presidential contenders Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are comparing dreams they've had. After Biden said he dreamed the Lord came to him and predicted he would be the Democratic nominee, Obama replied God had, in fact, visited him and said he would not only be the nominee, but the next president. Said Clinton: "I had a dream and I don't remember telling either of you those things." Advertisement
