Ann "Slander" Coulter
Anti-liberal, anti-Semitic, and that's just a warmup. Wanting politicians to die? For Coulter, that's nothing. Her brain spews out evil just as she breathes out carbon dioxide.
Her books are filled with lies. When confronted by the CBC over an outrageous lie (that Canada sent troops to Vietnam), with a straight face, she flat out said she was right.
Coulter can score with evil in several different ways, making her a very tough opponent.
John "Tan Man" Boehner
Currently the Minority Leader of the House, Boehner's track record has been long and steady in the realm of evil. Despite his longevity, Boehner had exhibited childish qualities. After President Obama reached out to him on the stimulus package and came into the discussion already having made huge concessions on tax cuts, did Boehner react like an adult? Of course not: Boehner organized his "troops" and made sure none of them voted for the stimulus package.
Not content to confine his evil to being the House Minority Leader, he conveyed to Wolf Blitzer that there was "no deregulation of anything in the financial services industries. As a matter of fact, there was an increase in regulation." In Boehner's evil mind, up is down.
Though he serves Southwestern Ohio in Congress and spends the rest of his days trapped inside the Capitol, Boehner somehow exudes his all-over tan. Who is paying for those trips where the sun shines so brightly?
UPDATE: In yesterday's action, the SCOTUS Federalist Foursome were just too much evil, edging Tom DeLay 73%-27%.
