I don't like the guy, but if you've just got stock, low, on the back burner, you can walk away from the kitchen for a little. The congressional mooks are just readjusting their attire for the next kabuki act. Nothing is going on that they don't already know about. If a real unexpected emergency came up they couldn't do anything if they were there anyway. The whole beltway bunch is as useless as a Kleenex condom. If the lot of them are on vacation, we're a lot safer.
