I don't know for sure who are "bad" cardinals, but I've heard these men griped about by conservatives, or stating things which appear to gripe about conservatives, or praised as the Great Multicultural Hope* by liberals. I do not attest that any of these deserve their bad reoutations, or that what I've heard as their reputations is indicative of their greater reputation:

(*I figured liberals would consider the Great White Hope to be racist. :^D)

Oh, and don't be discouraged by this list. Note that half of these guys are gone in 5 years! And these guys have to retire from being bishops about 5 years earlier:
