Mark Steyn nails it exactly - NARCISSISM!

"The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind."

C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity

Actually it is MALIGNANT NARCISSISM...an apt phrase that I learned reading Tammy Bruce's book "The Death of Good and Evil."
