Chaotic Evil is epitome of evil. They are agents of chaos, with no regard for anyone or anything around them. This alignment can't work within a party, since they revel in the torture and mistreatment of others. Even within an all evil party, chaotic evil will have no regard for whatever goals the party has. They are interested in themselves only; what they want is all that matters.
Being Chaotic Evil doesn't mean that you are mindless in your evil. You can be methodical. You won't murder the shopkeeper without a reason, but the reason can be incredibly trivial.
Psychopathic villains are chaotic evil. Slaughtering an entire town to deliver a message to the PCs is the hallmark of Chaotic Evil.
The archetypal character that is chaotic evil is The Joker. He is Chaotic Evil to the extreme, often emphasizing the Chaotic more than the Evil.
There isn't too much to say about Chaotic Evil. It is called exactly what it is.
