Nancy Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami disputed Alexandra Pelosi's claim on Thursday in a statement to Politico.

"This may be wishful thinking on the part of a right-wing blog but it is totally untrue," Elshami said. "When the day comes and Leader Pelosi's work is done, she won't be announcing it there."

Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), spoke with Andrew Breitbart's Big Government blog this week and said that her mother is pining for retirement.

"She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn't want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though. They think she's destined for [greatness]," the younger Pelosi said. "She has very few days left. She's 71, she wants to have a life, she's done. It's obligation, that's all I'm saying."

Pelosi later clarified that she has never discussed the specifics of this claim with her mother.................>>>>.....................>>>>...................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....ement_n_1174700.html
