It's a shame that he's lost his mind.

His comedy exhibited flashes of genius and his Block Party could be the best concert film ever made, in terms of the concept and the quality of the performances.

His comedy exhibited flashes of genius

I totally agree.

Agreed, he did some great skit comedy. Not exactly family fare but that’s a personal choice.

It's sad but true ...sometimes genius comes with its twin brother insanity. As someone else said,Chappelle respected the office of the president and thus would not attack President Bush even when it was fashionable to do so.

Off tangent, on President Bush - isn't it interesting how even a movie was made on what his assassination would be like, and how he was always drawn looking slightly apish ....yet make a similar movie about Obama and it's your hide, or for that matter draw Obama in any manner similar to that which they drew President Bush and see what happens to you. Those are some stark double standards.
