"Bushenfreude" - what a word!


"Democrats who were big beneficiaries of the Bush tax cuts were suffering from a weird mix of confusion, annoyance, exhilaration, and anger. They were enjoying their extra income while loathing its source - a Republican in the While house and Republican-controlled Congress."

Daniel Gross, "Bushenfreude Revisited", Slate Magazine, Friday, August 6, 2004. 

The urbandictionary.com cites this as a phenomenon specific to POY's, (that's Pissed Off Yuppies).
