Even in a Senate club famous for how it ostracizes the unwanted, the shunning of Democratic Sen. Roland Burris is unprecedented.

Get Me Out of Here" by doing hot yoga. She says that workout - which is done in a heated room - will help her get acclimated to the high temperatures in Costa Rica, where the show will be taped.
