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.

Click here for punishments received by Senators and House Members. The Guy behind this Site: My name is Dickie Tenner. I live in Montgomery, Alabama, and used to work as a political researcher. 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. 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.)
