Bob Barr, Georgia: Is on his third marriage. (Salon). Photographs show him licking whipped cream off the breast of a stripper. Allegedly lied under oath about adulterous sex during a 1986 deposition. Dumped his second wife Gail and their two sons (ages 5 and 4) just before Thanksgiving in 1985. When Gail was diagnosed with breast cancer, she asked her husband to stop campaigning for the statehouse, but he refused. He never attended chemotherapy treatments with his wife. (Flynt - 20). His second wife Gail believes that he was having an affair with his future third wife Jeri while he and Gail were still married. (Flynt - 22). Allegedly condoned and paid for an abortion for his then-wife. (Flynt - 24)

John Bolton, Washington, D.C.: Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “The first Mrs. Bolton’s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton’s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations,” said Mr. Flynt. “The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.” (Raw, 5.11.05)

Bob Packwood, Oregon: Former Oregon Sen. Packwood set all records for sexual harassment while serving in Congress for more than a quarter-century. The old goat apparently made a sexual play on every pubescent female left alone for more than two minutes with the powerful Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Packwood resigned in the fall of 1995 after the Ethics Committee voted for his expulsion from the Senate. The committee released 10,000 pages of evidence against Packwood, much of it detailing his sexual abuse and harassment of women. The committee found Packwood sexually harassed at least 17 women, mostly Senate employees, campaign workers and others "who were effectively powerless to protest in the face of his position as a United States senator." Twenty-nine women had accused Packwood of sexual misconduct. (TO, 1997)
Much, much more at link.
BTW, what's with all these sexual transgressors named Bob?
Bob Packwood, Bob Barr, Bob Livingston, Bob Allen, Bob Dole, Bob Dornan...
Just keep your eye on "Bobs" Corker and Ney.
