And the beat goes on... then of course there's the Tim Robbins' film Bob Roberts, who as one character calls him "a crypto-fascist clown".
And then there's the whole "Bob Dobbs, Church of the Sub-genius shtick".
Interesting write up, fudgetusk! Actually, I don't know if I ever thought about the tendency to use Robert/Bob as evil in fiction. Interesting connection that one meaning of Robert is shining/fame which would be associated with Satan, the luminous one.
