TFL and I were discussing my favorite news story about the news this morning (so meta!) and it quickly turned into a discussion of meaning of schadenfreude, which I said was the reaction of many to Murdoch's current situation, and sang froid, which TFL pointed out could also encompass a certain cold-blooded rejoicing in the downfall of one's enemy.
He's got a point. But I still think the word we're looking for here is schadenfreude. Which, I must point out, my iPhone spells for me.
That's right--I'm posting from my phone as I walk to work. I knew I got this toy (I mean important communication device) for a reason.
