Watching the inauguration this morning I looked at the Bidens and Harris and Obama sitting there listening to Trump describe their four years and, by implication, Obama's eight years as a disasterous period of national decay. One to be overturned as rapidly as possible.
I thought how painful the cheering and the standing Os as Trump made those points must have been to those leaving office. It's the latter day equivalent of standing in the stocks, being pelted with rotting fruit, dung and stones.
I thought, now you know how I felt at all the stupid and evil things you all did while I had to sit and watch for 12 years. It was world-class schadenfreude and I reveled in it.
