One of many lessons the GOP has, apparently, not learned from the Nov. 6 election

They are whining about election fraud? Really? Their stupid "unskewed polls" theory was a bust. But, instead of facing reality, they have decided to go farther into the rabbit hole.

We've all known a kid who upon losing a board game would freak out, hurl the game across the room and storm off while shouting something like, "This game sucks anyway!" The modern permutation of this unhinged sour grapes tantrum is to chuck a video game controller at the TV. (I sheepishly raise my hand: guilty as charged on the latter.)

It's one thing to suffer a momentary lack of self-control after losing a simple game, especially if the game is stupid, stupid, stupid and doesn't give you a chance to fire before enemies converge on your position seemingly out of nowhere I hate that game! Phew. Sorry. But it's another thing entirely to engage in this kind of silly, irrational behavior as a business owner, politician or political pundit in reaction to the results of an election. It's no surprise the Republicans are doing exactly that.
