As a result, the report says, Roger Clinton took on as many as 15 clients hoping to win clemency from the Clinton administration. What’s surprising isn’t that Roger sought to take advantage of the situation. But that Bill actually bothered to speak to Roger about it. “They aren’t that close, or as close as perhaps they once were,” says a former Clinton aide who stays in touch him and claims the brothers never spoke much to begin with. “I don’t believe that President Clinton said anything of the sort to his brother.”
In any event, that’s all water under the bridge. But what about now? Do the brothers ever talk? Does President Clinton, say, when he’s hanging with his chums at The Ivy restaurant in Santa Monica, ring up Roger — who lives off and on in the L.A. area — to ask him over for a bite? “No, they travel in very different social circles,” says a current Clinton assistant.
p> RABBLE ROUSED br> White House Budget Director Mitch Daniels took the brunt of the steam coming out of congressional ears over the White House’s increasingly rancorous relationship with members of the House and Senate. Sitting before the House Appropriations Committee yesterday, Daniels took fire from Wisconsin Democratic Rep. David Obey . “You and several others in the administration, in my view, have a severe attitude problem. I sense you and other Cabinet members feel you could get about the people’s business better if it wasn’t for the small-minded and inconsequential rabble on Capitol Hill that you have to deal with,” Obey said.
