Funny politician names...
Randy Johnson - Randy being the U.K. English slang for horny and Johnson being the slang for, well, a Johnson.

Connie Mack - Male member of US House.

John A. Boehner - The incumbent for Ohio's 8th district, a real stand up guy, and a salute to the Republicans in Congress. He is interested in making the government smaller, he also wanted a smaller sized package of perks for Congresspeople, and has tried to get the government to stick to spending limits. He has never lost sight of his goals.

Jeff Flake - Well do I have to say anything.

John T. Doolittle - Mr. Doolittle has done a lot. In fact he is deputy majority whip, and is involved in several scandals.

Mark Kirk - Also known as Commander Kirk, as he hasn't made captain yet.

Roy Blunt - Known to be a no nonsense kind of guy, in fact many have even called him blunt.

Virginia Foxx - Enjoys reading, possibly even some Virginia Woolf.

Robert Ney - Was one of three Congressmen to vote nay on Patriot act. His dealings with Jack Abramoff smell fishy. It is interesting to note Nez (pronounced ney or nay) is a French pefume expert, and is also the word for nose.

Louie Gohmert - Shazaam!

If you know of any other funny or funny sounding names please add them to the list.

I thought he was running for some town's sheriff and I remember reading his campaign signs kept getting stolen. Not gonna lie if I came across a "Mike Hunt for Sheriff" sign I would probably have to steal one too...lol
