Oh, it's like pin the tail on the donkey.
They're wearing the blindfolds and they've been spun around several times and have no idea what direction they're walking in.
Two big things, Ben.
First of all, they've got to spend $88 billion in taxpayer money to offset the bills incurred so far in this war and whatever lies ahead.
That's how much the Pentagon says it needs and it needs it soon.
So they've got to figure out what to do about that.
And they're all kinds of jammed up on their must-pass annual defense authorization bill.
They do it every year.
Usually it's pretty bipartisan, pretty smooth.
They can't figure out where they're going with that right now because of Iran.
Democrats are not lining up behind the plan.
Republican votes are hard to find.
They're down Mitch McConnell.
This is a dizzying affair here in Washington.
It's as if we're not in the middle of a time of war where usually there's a focus and a singularity of purpose.
I heard the 22 hours reference.
We sit through a lot of these leadership press conferences in Washington.
Let me tell you, Ben, it's like the least favorite part of the week is sitting through a leadership press conference because you get 95% of oration of talking points and you get one or two questions and you get nowhere.
It's like banging your head against a wall.
Him saying he works 22 hours a day is a poor read of the room.
