for having colorful names (or am I reversing cause and effect)? They names range from imposing (Lincoln Chafee), to ominous (Arlen Specter) to silly (John Sununu), to Frat-boy-ish (Chuck Grassley), to ultra-WASPish (John Rockefeller) List of Senators. I think my favorite “Senator” sounding name is Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). If you were named Saxby Chambliss as a kid, you would have to know some day you’d be a Congresscritter!
