Over 11,700 Members of Congress have served this great Nation. Overwhelmingly, they have been hard working, dedicated, intelligent, and deserving of the courtesy title "The Honorable." But then there are the Congressional BadBoys, the one-half of one percent, or so, of rotten apples, done in by their all too human frailties. It's the same old story: power, money, booze, drugs, and sex.
What's Congress doing about these scandals? Meet your House Ethics Committee and Senate Ethics Committee Who's Next? Check our WatchList for the other Honorable Members who should be dialing up their lawyers. Nominations cordially invited. Contact me at dickie@CongressionalBadBoys.com |

Now you may find all this pretty funny, or pretty pathetic, but just remember, the REAL BadBoys in Congress are the ones who steal us all blind by rewarding their big-spending corporate and labor friends who shower them with campaign contributions.

I got fed up with politics, especially after some creepy little bastard named Russell Drackey got elected to Congress, despite all the research I did against him. Fortunately, Drackey's gone; he's now in Allenwood prison. I created this website to remind good folks of the rotten apples who sometimes get elected to Congress. If you've got any advice or want to nominate someone for the Congressional BadBoys, send me an e-mail: dickie@congresionalbadboys.com Who are these guys on the masthead? From left to right: Wilbur Mills (D-Arkansas); James Traficant (D-Ohio); Bill Janklow (R-South Dakota); Wayne Hays (D-Ohio); and Dan Rostenkowski (D-Illinois)
Second row: Larry Craig (R-Idaho); Mark Foley (R-Florida); Bill Jefferson (D-Louisiana); Bob Ney (R-Ohio); David Vitter (R-Louisiana); Ted Stevens (R-Alaska); Tom DeLay (R-Texas); John Doolittle (R-Calif.); Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.); and Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.)

2008
absolute worst weasel excuse for cheating-- 
Bye-bye
to the Hammer. The Honorable Tom DeLay of Texas
packed
it in, left office in June 2006. "Given the chance to do it
all again . . . I'd fight even harder." Tom's had some rough spots in recent
years.
