p> DEMOCRATS CRY FALSE br> Re: The Washington Prowler's Pelosi Bluster : /p>

Yesterday, Ben Stein [sic], in his online column posted on your website, cites two sources -- unnamed of course -- to assert that I am somehow angling for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's job. The words "absurd," "ludicrous," and "ridiculous" immediately come to mind. However, I realize that even such strong, unequivocal adjectives will not be enough to convince some to dismiss Mr. Stein's [sic] assertions for what they are -- nonsense. So, please allow me to state as clearly as I can: The assertions in Mr. Stein's [sic] column are categorically untrue.

p>The fact is, I am working hard -- as are all Members of the Democratic leadership -- to help Democrats regain the House Majority in November, to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and to lead this country in a new, positive direction after years of Republican incompetence, cronyism and corruption. br> -- STENY H. HOYER br> House Democratic Whip /p> p> Editor's Note: br> The article in question was by the Washington Prowler, not Ben Stein.
