Schadenfreude (IPA: [ˈʃaːdənˌfʁɔʏ̯də] Audio (German) is enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else.
A new twist on this definition from the Spectator:
Bidenfreude (n.) The joy Republicans feel at Democratic despondency over Obama's vice presidential choice.
and goes on to point out:
CNN reports that some high-level Hillary supporters are outraged that she wasn't even vetted for the running-mate spot.
Whether that outrage is reflected among the 18 million ordinary Democratic voters who supported Hillary in the primaries is the big question. Given that 18 percent of those voters were already saying they'd vote for John McCain instead of Obama, disgruntled Clinton supporters could be a serious factor in a close election.
For more Bidenfreude go here for the latest TV ad.
Gonna be a fun convention to watch...
