Schadenfreude

In today's Projo in print, Mark Arsenault has a piece on Chafee's elation over the Matt Brown funding fiasco. Chafee referred to Brown's temporary misfortune as schadenfreude, a German term meaning the feeling of satisfaction over someone else's misfortunes. "I have a little bit of schadenfreude with Matt Brown today," Chafee exclaimed.

Schadenfreude may also be the feeling a number of Republicans will have on Primary day when Chafee observes the results of that election; and I don't think Chafee, himself, will be among those experiencing schadenfreude.
