"I have complete confidence in Michael Bolton", said Bush. "He has shown the hunger to succeed, to be the soul provider to this administration. I depend on him so much I sometimes ask myself, how am I supposed to live without you?"
Portmanteau of "shotgun-incident-related schadenfreude."
see e.g. The Imperial (Vice) Presidency: "The shooting could hardly be a better metaphor for Cheney. It neatly packages his faulty judgment, insularity and arrogance in a story that is not cataclysmic on its own terms but will prove hard to forget."
P.S. hot tip: "schadenfreude" doesn't have anything to do with Freud. Nor does Shotgunfreude.
