Bob Hope Announcement
After the Associated Press mistakenly placed Bob Hope's obituary on its web site in June 1998, Stump announced on the floor of the House that the entertainer had died. This was quickly denied by his daughter and publicist; Hope died in 2003, at the age of 100.

Famous quotes containing the words hope and/or announcement:
“High on a throne of his own labors reared.
At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
And lambent dullness played around his face.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose; also the first announcement of death.”
—Peter Conrad (b. 1948)
