Hmm, Im a big Stanhope fan, but I can sympathize with someone who doesn't like him. However, Im going to have to disagree with your comparison. To me, for all the obscenity, all of Louie's comedy has a certain morality to it (and I think this is one of its great strengths). Stanhope, who I do not perjoratively call a voice of evil, is nearly the opposite; his comedy is all about tearing down all social order. He is like a tourguide into the nihilistic abyss.
