(h/t Jimmie at The Sundries Shack)
William Jacobson has coined a new word: Specterenfreud
That’s what happens when you stab your party in the back by switching to the other party, but the other party, which is now your new party, reneges on all their promises, stabs you in the back and boots you to one step below the guy who scrapes the gum off the bottom of the Senate hot tub.
There is justice in the galaxy, and sometimes it’s a mite painful, there, sport.
