MSNBC’s Brian Williams and Chris Mathews appeared shocked Friday as they grappled with news of the abrupt and unexpected resignation of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who has held that position since 2010.

The Ohio congressman entered a press conference Friday morning singing a Disney song, “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,” and joyfully announced that he will be leaving politics for good later this year. Williams, who has returned recently to anchoring the news months after it was revealed that he had embellished several stories, appeared utterly mystified by the spectacle.
