Dept. of Schadenfreude

This morning I wondered, is it really right to take pleasure in the downfall of others -- no matter how greasy, corrupt or hateful they are?

DeLay indicted again, this time on a money-laundering charge. You know what's great about that? The news this morning was full of Bush's new Supreme Court pick; all the pre-loaded cannons from left and right were going off like the fireworks after a ballgame go off whether the team wins or loses, because it's Fireworks Night and they're all paid for. Then suddenly DeLay gets whomped again. Whoops, there goes another CRIMINAL INDICTMENT. So much for Bush trying to take the news cycle.

Coincidentally, Tony Pierce notes that two years ago today Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction was exposed.

Yes, it's right. In fact it's fun. Think those SOB's aren't getting big yuks out of what they've pulled on the rest of us? And now I'm going to pop another handful of oxycontin and preach about virtue.
