"inability to cope is not the sole domain of either political party, of course"
unfortunately, that is so true
Our side is usually better at this, I have to give credit where credit is due.
That being said, the Terri situation has brought the worst out of many folks on our side. Completely unable to accept that because of a lot of reasons, the pro-Terri side lost, they are reduced to hysteria, hyperbole, exageration, overstatement, petulant foot stomping, and worse.
I will say that recent history suggests that the worst of our side only does this maybe once or twice a decade, on balance, while the worst of the other side seems to do it every other week. ;-)
Still, the most bitter Freepers (and some have already become bitter) should get a grip. Congress did what it could. Dubya did what he could. Jeb did what he could. If only the Schindler lawyers did better, it would be a different story now.
The inability to cope with that is not flattering.
