So crazy, guys! As Twitchy readers know, McCarthy dropped his bid for Speaker of the House and Luke Russert was apparently the hardest hit. Russert also took to Twitter with his breathless reaction:
About to go on MSNBC with bombshell McCarthy out

One member tells me they thought McCarthy was joking at first.

At 8am McCarthy told his colleagues he was running and wanted their vote. At 12:15 he pulled out of the race.

Then some giddy retweets:
He wasn’t done …

Remarkable that in this hyper wired-in world, Boehner & McCarthy able to keep gargantuan news from leaking.

Press found out about McCarthy from Rep. Costello (R-PA) walking out of the Conference meeting.

And the worst? Russert tweeted this reaction from Chris Matthews:
The great @hardball_chris on McCarthy news "This is news, this is big, this is toilet overflowing in the carnival line big!"
— Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) October 8, 2015
Dude.
Chris Matthews just compared McCarthy news to "toilets overflowing on the Carnival line." I think. I heard all those words.
