WaPo Journalists and Schadenfreude

Kurt Schlichter at Townhall: It Is Right and Proper to Laugh at the Suffering of Journalists

First, we have our vocabulary word of the day.

Schadenfreude

enjoyment obtained from seeing or hearing about the troubles of others

Washington Post has been laying people off, and the "Professional Jounalists" are sad.

If it's wrong to spend a week celebrating the misery of your opponents, like that of the scores of just-fired Washington Post hacks who are crying like teenage girls learning there are no more "Twilight" movies coming, then I'm incredibly, totally, enthusiastically wrong. The former journos/current drive-thru operators still have not shut up about the WaPo's mass layoffs, and I am taking unmitigated delight in their pain. Their suffering energizes me. Their tears nourish me. Their humiliation fuels my joy. Hey, maybe democracy dies in darkness, but as long as the WaPo dies, I'm good.

Ouch. That is gonna leave a mark.

The "Professional Journalists™" at the WaPo are all upset because they are irrelavent.

But hey, I'm sure that journalism degree from the University of College is going to get them another gigsoon. Say it with me – "Would you like to supersize that, sir?"

Because were we all told that "learn to code" (when directed at journalists) is insulting.

There is a lot more. (Hat tip to Instapundit)
