Boy, he is a nut, isn't he? And I'm incredibly liberal too... I remember when he had PI on comedy central, he was -so- much better.

To tell you the truth i haven't really come across a "most chilling representation". But read James Lovejoy's The Hope, short little book, not too much to it but rather disturbing.

Tony Soprano was a good call, another one was Thomas Ripley from The Talented Mr Ripley, something evil this way comes.

It's funny Jem, I loved PI when it was on CC. Then something happened to Maher...Bad dope maybe, but he's an absolute loon nowadays. For fun I watched his post-election show....Whew.

Yeah, I think his success went to his head. He was good at stimulating conversation, asking the right questions, occasionally playing devils advocate....

now he plays devils advocate so much that I think he might be going after the devil's job, in an aggressive corperate take-over style campaign.

Just to bash on both sides of the line, I think the same thing happened to Dennis Miller. I used to watch him when he was a kid, and he was always pretty funny, but he turned his humor into Arab bashing before the war in Iraq. I'm half Lebenese, and my mother is fully Arabic. I was so offended, I've sworn him off entirely.

Wait a minute... I have to add something about the most chilling representation of evil in literature, just so I don't feel bad about going off topic.

I think Will Farrel is the most chilling representation I've ever seen of evil on TV :) *shudder*
