Hastert's office told the Chicago Sun-Times
that the meeting was a mistake, that Hastert thought the hastily
scheduled meeting was with a constituent of his district, and that the
Speaker will not resign.
The thing is, this meeting is the buzz of Washington
right now and raises his profile. It might raise Paul's reputation as a
publicity hound, the "craziest preacher ever," and a "nut job,"
but that hasn't stopped the press corps from quoting every crazy thing
Pat Robertson says. Is Paul going to be the new media darling for
reporters looking for a
juicy religious quote? Don't bet on it: His
political views are probably too unpredictable for "fill-in-the-blank"
reporting
