Spitzer: Pride Cometh Before the Fall

Steamrolling NY Governor Elliott Spitzer who adovcated gay marriage, promoted drivers licenses for illegals, harassed crisis pregnancy centers, used the police to spy on a political opponent has found himself caught in a prostitution sting and is expected to resign.

I'm not sure if schadefreude is feeling a Christian should have, but perhaps God will consider this a legitimate exception!

Update: After thinking about it, feeling good about Spitzer getting caught isn’t a bad feeling and it isn’t really schadefruede. It’s like feeling good when a thief gets caught. Pure schadefreude would be feeling good if his house got hit by a tornado or his wife got cancer.
