Chelsea Clinton Has Daddy Do Her Dirty Work

The owner of a New York City restaurant got a rude awakening when he checked the mail recently. It was a letter from the office of President Bill Clinton himself. The former president had a problem with a photo displayed in the front window of the restaurant picturing Nino Selimaj, the restaurants owner, and Chelsea Clinton. “We ask that you immediately remove that picture and any and all pictures displaying Ms. Clinton,” the letter states. “We reserve the right to exercise any and all options available to us if you refuse to comply.” The photo had been in the window for the last five years, so receiving the letter now came as a shock. “I was disappointed because she meant a lot to me. I was heartbroken,” he told FOXNews.com. “I don’t think I’m taking it down until I’m forced. I hope I’m solving the problem with him with a letter.”

I don't really understand the reasoning behind what Fmr. President Clinton is doing here. He has to know that threatening a lawsuit on this poor guy cannot be good for his (or his wife's) image. I mean, she willingly took the picture, and what did she think he was going to do with it? If it were that important to her, why not address it earlier? It could be that the Clintons don't want the restaurant making money off of their name, as the owner did state the picture attracts customers, but this is over the line. I am sure that the owner would not object near as much if they paid him a visit and politely asked for the photo to be removed. But in today's America, the lawyers have to take control of the situation. I almost hope this does end up in court, so it will show ALL of America just what kind of people they are (like they don't already know).
