Nope. "Freudenschade" was a term used by a DUmmie at Democratic Underground a couple years ago when William Rivers Pitt wrote that Karl Rove would be indicted within 24 hours.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I’ve had to explain schadenfreude to lots of folks, but leave it to the DUmmies to not even be able to use the internet correctly.
