"Can anyone explain the "Fruedenschade" joke to me?"

Sure! Some weeks ago, Will Pitt and truthout.org posted an article by Jason Leopold to the effect that Karl Rove was indicted that Friday (May 12th, I believe). He was given 24 hours by Fitzpatrick, during a long, 15 hour session at his attorney's office) to 'get his affairs in order'.

The DUmmies went crazy over this. PJ's first thread (of several) included a post by a DUmmie that included the term 'Freudenschade, Baby!'. Obviously, the word is 'Schadenfreide' but this DUmmie didn't know that. Since then, it's become part of our 'DUmmie' lexicon. It's used, in part, to illustrate how bassackward they idiots are.

Don't forget what that is in "business hours".

The first thread was amusing. The later threads -- after the DUmmies realized that they had been had and angrily turned on Pied Piper Pitt -- were some of the most hilarious DUFU threads EVER. (The capper, dissecting the INTERMINABLE "apology" Pitt posted when he finally worked up the courage to return to DUmmieville, may be one of the greatest threads in FR history.)
