We just lost a vote, we're not bumfuzzled.
Leo threatens CJ with snakes in her car if she isn't able to turn a drunken promise to the First Lady into a valid photo op with the President and a goat, while Will Bailey takes his hazing with style and meets some more of the gang. In an attempt to impress Zoey's new French boyfriend, Charlie accidentally leans on one of the Joint Chiefs to rewrite the military budget. Meanwhile, Josh and Donna try every trick they can come up with -- including stalking a slippery Senator in hiding and taking a "joke" proposal to fund a federal study on the power of prayer to the President -- to get the last critical vote for a foreign aid vote.

Dialogue Excerpts:
Bartlet: And is there a cow on my schedule today?
CJ: It's called Heifer International. Don't worry about it.
Bartlet: Me, with a cow. I shouldn't worry about it.
CJ: It's a photo op with a cow, sir, not a sit down.
Bartlet: I like your sass.
CJ: You've got a very nice sass yourself, sir.
Toby: He came to me.
Josh: He authored a bill to insert the word God into the Pledge of the Allegiance four more times.
Toby: Yeah, well, once you've broken that dam, what the hell does it matter?
CJ: Well, first of all, that's not a cow. It's not. It's a goat. Yeah, I may have agreed to something about a goat.
Leo: What, did the First Lady get you drunk and take you shopping?
CJ: Leo. Yes. The name of the group is Heifer International. I was under the impression it was going to be a cow.
Leo: Lending a presidential aura to the photo?
Donna: You took funding for remote prayer to the President?
Josh: Oh, I did it with gusto.
Donna: That's 'cause you don't know the story of Fishhooks McCarthy.
Josh: Is this a real person, or a Donna person?
Josh: No one who's ever said they wanted bipartisanship has ever meant it. But the people are speaking. Because 68 percent think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59 percent think it should be cut.
Will: You like that stat.
Josh: I do.
Will: Why?
Josh: Because nine percent think it's too high and shouldn't be cut! Nine percent of respondents couldn't get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for I have utterly no idea what you're talking about; please, God, don't ask for my input.
CJ: I think this will work. I think it says, well, you're impoverished, and while we don't care, we don't want you to go away empty-handed. So we offer this goat, Ron, to give you milk.
Will: Do male goats give milk?
CJ: No. No, of course they don't. So... we offer you this thing that will just gnaw on your stuff.
