Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də] (About this sound listen); lit. 'harm-joy') is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. (Wikipedia)
Help! Help! I've Broken My Irony Meter & I'm Cracking Up!
Please take a few seconds (it's short) to digest this farce before we continue:
Gay Sex Offender Kevin Spacey on his friendship with Hetero Sex Offender Bill Clinton and how their relationship has developed. (The full interview aired on PBS on March 10, 2015.)
Is this not deliciously ridiculous? Charlie Rose, a man who has enjoyed a 45-year broadcast career telling the rest of us how virtuous he is, recently admitted he'd been a naughty boy, running around naked in front of female staffers (as if that would turn them on):
In my 45 years of journalism, I have prided myself on being an advocate for the careers of the women with whom I have worked. Nevertheless, in the past few days, claims have been made about my behavior toward some former female colleagues.--Charlie Rose (Twitter)
Got that? Rose presented himself as a champion of women while apologizing for years of sexually harassing women.
Duh.
Then there's Kevin Spacey, who was accused of sexual assault by a then 14-year-old male. This is part of Spacey's apology:
"But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."
Thus Spacey apologized for something he wouldn't admit doing three decades earlier. He went on to deflect from his disgusting behavior by coming out as a gay man and hoping no one would notice.
It didn't work, and Spacey is paying a very heavy price for his "indiscretion".
In short, we have one sanctimonious, virtue-signaling sexual predator interviewing another sanctimonious, virtue-signaling sexual predator about his friendly relationship with a third sanctimonious, virtue-signaling sexual predator.

Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.
Earlier this week, the actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance toward him in 1986, when he was 14 years old. After Rapp’s allegation, Spacey released a statement in which he claimed not to remember the incident in question and also came out as a gay man. Since then, others have come forward with further allegations against Spacey, including the filmmaker Tony Montana, who said that Spacey groped him in public in 2003, and the actor Roberto Cavazos, who said he witnessed Spacey court and inappropriately touch younger male actors at the Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey was the artistic director from 2004 to 2015.
Mr. Bill. Clinton and Spacey are both recorded flying on the Lolita Express, a private jet owned by notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
