After serving 6 terms in the House, Gingrey, like his colleague Paul Broun overreached and got his butt kicked in the Georgia Republican primary for Saxby Chambliss's U.S. Senate seat.  He finished in 4th place with 10% of the vote.

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)  
Alaska Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
  • At-large District.  Don Young (R).   Ridiculed environmentalists as a “self-centered bunch of waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots.....not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.”

Arkansas Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives
