Bill Clinton Tells NYC Restaurant To Remove Chelsea's Photo

POSTED: 11:36 am EDT September 26, 2007 UPDATED: 11:37 am EDT September 26, 2007 NEW YORK -- The days may be numbered for a photo of Chelsea Clinton posing with the owner of a popular Italian restaurant. That's because Chelsea's dad has weighed in.

Former President Bill Clinton sent a letter to Osso Buco proprietor Nino Selimaj, demanding that he take down the picture from the walls of his Greenwich Village restaurant.

"I was surprised to get the letter because the picture has been there a few years," Selimaj told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "She's eaten here a few times."

The Sept. 18 letter from the office of William Jefferson Clinton says Chelsea is a private citizen and that although she may have eaten at the restaurant "this does not serve as an endorsement."

The letter, signed by Clinton counselor Douglas J. Band, says Chelsea "was not consulted prior to this picture being displayed, and thus, her permission was not given for you to do so."

"We reserve the right to exercise any and all options available to us if you refuse to comply," the letter says.

With the Clinton’s it is always about money. They either feel he should pay for the privilege or not use it.

To me--This is the tip of the iceberg: How many other times has he or Hill done this?

For whatever reason, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton wants this photo taken down from inside Osso Buco in Greenwich Village. She's so serious she has recruited her father, former President Bill Clinton, and a team lawyers to see that it's done.

Is Bill having delusions of granduer? He's not President anymore.
After you leave office do you get to keep the title? Is it a lifetime title?
