	The Establishmentarian - Zachary Roth
		Hoyer’s absorption in state and local politics was so total during this period of his life that, while giving a speech as a member of Congress almost 15 years later, he referred to Nelson Mandela as “Marvin Mandela”—an unconscious reference to the man who had stepped down as Maryland’s governor in 1979.
		Hoyer, too, has pledged his loyalty to Pelosi, but his more centrist identity, his communications skills, and his obvious ambition have created a sense within the caucus that he represents the logical alternative to her sometimes artless leadership style.
		Hoyer noted to me that he had voted for the bill when it had come up several times in previous years, and said his decision was based on a belief in personal responsibility.

	RealClearPolitics - Articles - Mitch McConnell, Steny Hoyer, Roundtable
		HOYER: I think that the Congress has a responsibility, which we haven't done over the course of this war, of serious oversight to see how the money is going to be spent and whether it's going to be effectively spent, because it hasn't happened in the past.
		HOYER: Let me except (ph) the fact that these are all good people, but the fact that we have a new secretary of defense or the fact that we have a new CENTCOM commander or Petraeus on the ground in Iraq, if the administration's policy remains the same, then we're going to have the same-old-same-old.
		You heard it reflected in the interviews today, Steny Hoyer reflecting the views similar to those of Harry Reid that this is, in his view, A, not new, this idea of sending, what, now, 20,000 troops to Iraq.

		I'm not really sure why Steny Hoyer is grabbing headlines defending President Bush from the ruthless assault by Stephen Colbert.
		Last year, Hoyer got his bought-and-paid-for pantaloons in an uproar when Minority Leader Pelosi had the temerity to call out members of her caucus who voted for their backers on Wall Street and K Street on the bankruptcy bill fight.

	Prairie Weather: Steny Hoyer vs. change
		Either way, then, Hoyer seems assured of entering 2007 as one of the most powerful elected officials in Washington, yet one of the least known outside of it.
		The enthusiasm with which Hoyer has raised money from K Street, his resistance to serious lobbying reform, and his general comfort with the Washington establishment all imply a politician with little interest in systemic change.
		Hoyer, who styles himself the ultimate political realist, is missing a larger political reality...
