I just now noticed their tagline....
Democracy Dies in Darkness
How totally appropriate. How totally fitting for such a biased and demented rag as it the Compost.

DUmmies are in a tizzy too, the only person they hate more than Comey is Trump, but then DUmmies have never been much when it comes to self-consistency.

Washington Post is a CIA outlet. Of course they are upset that the highest deep state neverTrumper was fired.

18 articles, not a single one supportive or even acknowledging the reasoning stated in the letter. 13 of the 18 are clear hit pieces just from the titles.

I don’t understand the fuss with these people. He’s politically appointed and serves at the pleasure of the president, right? It seems simple to me.

Scott Adams blog has a good analysis about the Comey firing as a Cognitive dissonance mind bomb that shows how out of touch Democrats are with reality.

They hate Trump, so anything Trump does is wrong. Trump fires Comey, something Democrats have been saying should happen, forces them to oppose Trump for doing what they want and having to explode their minds to now oppose it.

Rush also had an interesting take on this as well this morning. He used this as a teachable moment on how out of touch Democrats are with their base. He pointed out that Steve Colbert in his monologue said there was breaking important news, Comey had just been fired by Donald Trump....the crowd cheered! He was stunned and he had expected them to boo.

He then stated that there must be a lot of Pro-Trump supporters in the audience, when there were probably close to none. Democrat opinion makers oppose Trump first and foremost, regardless of what he does or doesn't do.

Two days ago the Washington Post considered Comey the devil incarnate. Today they think he is Mother Teresa!

The thoughtful observer need only to observe who is most upset to know who was in league with Comey. Suspect President Trump is a thoughtful observer.
