Senator DeMint has said he will go "to extreme lengths to

prevent a vote on raising the debt ceiling, even if it hurts

the Republican Party politically."  Asked to give examples 

of which 'extreme lengths' he has in mind, the Senator

mentioned screeching and crying, holding his breath,

clenching his fists, stamping his feet, falling to the

ground and kicking his feet in the air, and 

clamping his eyes shut.
