DeMint Will Hold   FIREDOGLAKE

UPDATE: Sen. Jim DeMint announces through Twitter that he will become the third Senator to place a hold on Bernanke's confirmation:

    "I will oppose Bernanke and hold his nomination until we get a vote to audit the Fed."

DeMint joins Jim Bunning and Bernie Sanders. The bedfellows, they are strange.


Bunning and DeMint are Republican members of the Senate Banking Committee. Bernie Sanders is the Socialist from Vermont and he caucuses with the Democrats but is not on the Banking Committee.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

This is actually a very solid and sane criticism of Bernanke and his predecessor. From a republican senator from Kentucky...
