Yeah, no freakin' shit! My jaw's on the ground.

Makes me think back to the "Saturday Night Massacre" This is now the "Monday Night Massacre."

The Saturday Night Massacre was the term used by political commentators[1] to refer to U.S. President Richard Nixon's dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.[2][3]
