"Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, had lunch downtown at the Taproom Friday. The Illinois Republican has a long-time connection with college wrestling (he is a former wrestler and was also named honorary US Olympic Team captain in 2004) and was in having drinks and dinner during a break from the NCAA wrestling championship held at the Savvis Center. Despite the presence of the Secret Service scoping the restaurant, no one seemed to notice the Speaker's presence except for a few of the wresting fans who were also in for lunch."
Just FYI...Hastert has Capitol Police protection, not Secret service. They look alot alike, but different agencies.
