Is "schadenfreude" trending? If it isn't already, it probably will be soon.

That's because a photo of former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reading about the hack on Vice President Mike Pence's emails when he was Governor of Indiana has the Internet in a tizzy this weekend.

As the unconfirmed but now-vi r al story goes , a passenger on the same short-haul flight as Clinton and her trusted advisor Huma Abedin from Boston's Logan Airport to New York's LaGuardia on Friday snapped an almost unbelievable smartphone photo. (Pictures, or it didn't happen, right?) In the split-second moment, the passenger captured a relatively stable, non-fuzzy photo of Clinton reading that day's issue of USA Today , with the headline above the fold: "Pence used personal email in office."

The Indianapolis Star last week reported that Pence used a private AOL email account to conduct public business and homeland security matters as Indiana's governor, and that his personal email account was hacked last summer.

Given how the debate over Clinton's email practices and private servers were at the core of the bitter rhetoric of the 2016 presidential election, the Pence situation has critics questioning if there is a double standard in the public responseas well as that by Pence and Republican leadersso far. Pence's office has since responded that there was "no comparison whatsoever" between his use of a private email account for state business and Clinton's while she was Secretary of State.

At the very least, it has many Internet users batting around the word " schadenfreude ," a German term referring to pleasure derived by someone from another person's bad luck or misfortune. Thus, this single photomuch like another photo of Clinton reading while travelinghas also spawned numerous memes, many of which can be found on Twitter ( twtr ) under the hashtag "# ButHerEmails ."

And in an even further meta moment, USA Today followed up with a report on the photo, too.

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was at Harvard Friday.

CAMBRIDGE Hillary Clinton visited Harvard University Friday morning for a private event with a small group of students and was interviewed about her time as secretary of state.

Clintons appearance in Cambridge came after an event Thursday night at her alma mater, Wellesley College, where she was interviewed by the colleges president in front of students.

Both events were closed to the news media and the public. Even a planned livestream of the Wellesley event was canceled, and by Friday morning, some tweets from the Wellesley college newspaper covering the event were deleted.

At Harvard, Clinton participated in the American Secretaries of State Project: Diplomacy, Negotiation, and Statecraft interview series, which is a joint project of the schools business, law, and government schools, the Harvard Crimson reported.

Students lined up behind a rope in the courtyard at Kirkland House to greet Clinton. A ticket was required to attend the event.

Some students held signs with messages like, You are an inspiration, and 2020?

The crowd erupted into cheers as Clinton walked into the courtyard just before 10 a.m. and some chanted her name.

Savannah Fritz, 22, a Harvard senior from Greencastle, Pa., campaigned for Clinton last fall and lamented her loss in the presidential election, saying it put a lot of people in danger.

Hillarys a huge role model to me, she said.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said Clinton spent Thursday night in Boston and had no other events planned in Boston during this trip.

Hillary Clinton visits Harvard University - The Boston Globe

UPDATED: March 4, 2017 at 1:42 p.m.

Hillary Clinton was on Harvard's campus Friday to discuss her time as Secretary of State and attend a luncheon in Kirkland House.

Clinton took part in an interview as part of the American Secretaries of State Project: Diplomacy, Negotiation, and Statecraft, a joint project of the Kennedy School, Law School, and Business School, according to a statement from the Kennedy School.

Harvards Institute of Politics hosted a Fireside Chat with Secretary Clinton Friday morning in Kirkland Houses with undergraduate members of the IOPs Student Advisory Committee. Five spots for the Kirkland event with Clinton were given to Kirkland residents Thursday evening.

Clinton served as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. Clinton ran for President of the United States beginning in May 2015, and lost the election in a victory many across the University found upsetting and surprising. Throughout her campaign, Clinton enjoyed wide support amongst both Harvard students and facultya Crimson survey found that roughly 87 percent of undergraduates planned to vote for the former Secretary of State in Novembers election.

The American Secretaries of State Project is an effort between the Kennedy Schools Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs Future of Diplomacy Project and the Law Schools Program on Negotiation. Begun in 2012, it plans to interview all living former U.S. Secretaries of State about their experiences conducting international negotiations while in office.

Law School Professor Robert H. Mnookin, Business School professor James K. Sebenius, and Kennedy School professor R. Nicholas Burns lead the project and conducted the interview with Clinton. Sebenius said the interviews with the secretaries focus on challenges they faced in office and also their political experiences with three different geographical regionsthe Middle East, Russia or the former Soviet Union, and China.

We cut it two ways, and ones around the challenging negotiations and what we can learn from them, and thats a special interest of all of ours, Sebenius said. And the other is looking at the experiences of each of these Secretaries through kind of a regional focus.

The three professors jointly teach Great Negotiators, Effective Diplomacy, and Intractable Conflicts, a class on political negotiation open to students from the Law School, Business School, and Kennedy School. Burns said he and the other professors will incorporate the interviews into a variety of forthcoming projects, including a book on the negotiations of the American Secretaries of State, a series of PBS documentaries, and case studies for use in Harvard classes.

It really has given us a sweep of American foreign policy through the eyes of the former living Secretaries of State, Sebenius said.

Clinton is the seventh Secretary of State to take part in the project. In spring 2015, the professors hosted former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright at Harvard as part of the project. In her interview with the professors, Albright spoke about her international negotiations in both her roles as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and as the first female Secretary of State.

The projects leaders have also interviewed former Secretaries of State George P. Shultz, James A. Baker III, Henry A. Kissinger, Colin L. Powell, and Condoleezza Rice about their experiences in international negotiations. The three professors are also currently writing a book on the negotiations of Secretary Kissinger.

John Kerry, who most recently served as Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama, is the only other living former Secretary who has not yet been interviewed as part of the project.

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton left Kirkland House at Harvard on Friday.

The Internet sure loves moments of political pathos, and it got what it was looking for Friday thanks to Hillary Clinton and a newspaper headline.

It was revealed earlier this week that Vice President Mike Pence had used an AOL e-mail account to conduct official government business. That account was hacked sometime early in 2016.

During last years presidential campaign, Pence lambasted Clinton, then the Democratic nominee for the White House, for her use of a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state, an issue that dogged her throughout the election season.

So when Clinton was photographed aboard a Boston-to-New York flight considering a USA Today headline that read Pence used personal email in office, the online masses acted accordingly. Which is to say, they ate it up.
