Compassionate Conservitism

The self-proclaimed "Prince of Darkness", Robert Novak is in the news again. Seems he ran over a pedestrian in Washington, DC. Here's some info on the accident from Josh Marshall's TPM site:

But ... according to the bicyclist who eventually got Novak to stop, David Bono, Novak hit the guy, a 66 year old man walking in cross walk with a walk signal. He told The Politico "a black Corvette convertible with top closed plows into the guy. The guy is sort of splayed into the windshield."

Keep in mind that Novak claims he didn't realize he had hit the guy.

"There was a pedestrian splayed on his windshield -- I don't think there is anyway you can miss that," Bono said.

Also, the poor guy was hurt worse than the original news report had it.

I know what schadenfreude means, but is there a pithy word or phrase for an event that confirms your most bigoted, stereotyped assumptions?
