Notes From The Headquarters of Karma

If Congress was the 1980s teen comedy, then this would be a fitting final scene for one of the movie's most atrocious villains:

Meanwhile, today on the Hill, Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) was seen making a spectacle of herself when the unlucky lawmaker slipped and fell in what we’re told was vomit, in a bathroom in Cannon. (Some nice female dealing with the repercussions of Jason Roe’s going away party by chance?) “She made THE biggest scene in the hallway,” says a staffer who escaped the, um, regurgitation. “It’s literally all down her back.”

In a related story, Mean Jean did call the vomit a coward for wanting to pull out of Iraq. (Even though the vomit came from a decorated Marine!)

I don't think it's possible to describe schadenfreude any longer without referencing this event. Maybe it's time to call it Schmidtenfreude.
