In case you havenโ€™t signed up yet, an excerpt from this weekโ€™s G-File (which is not bound by the bourgeois norms and customs that constrain other jurisdictions of the NR universe):

Schadenfreude is an ugly word, as befits the ugly language that produced it, but I canโ€™t apologize for being genuinely gleeful about Arlen Specterโ€™s defeat. In fact, Iโ€™m not sure Schadenfreude even applies here, because, as I understand it, Schadenfreude is taking joy in anotherโ€™s misfortune. Well, misfortune is another word for bad luck. And Specterโ€™s defeat isnโ€™t bad luck, it is a long-overdue comeuppance.
Arlen Specter was a geyser of asshattery, spewing his particular brand of a-holuarness (to borrow a term from social science) with a regularity that would put Old Faithful to shame. And what Bart Simpson said of Old Faithful, I will say of Arlen Specter: He both sucks and blows.
