Now that we've "discovered" that John Edwards' brother is in a bit of trouble, it got me thinking about the loser brothers of famous people and characters.
If you read Bill Simmons on ESPN's Page 2, you know what I'm talking about.
Here's the short list of the Class of 2004 inductees to the Fredo Hall of Fame as I see it:
Fredo Corleone (duh!)
Roger Clinton
Eric Roberts
Ozzie Canseco (not that Jose is a big winner, nowadays...)
Billy Ripken
Neil Bush (although you could put every male Bush on the list!)
Frank Stallone
Ashlee Simpson
Feel free to add more if you please...
ON EDIT: I don't know how the hell I forgot Frank Stallone!!!

| 3. Any Baldwin who isn't named Alec |
|
That includes Stephen, Daniel, Billy, Corky, Thelonius, and Dmitri. And Mongo, who they keep locked up in the basement.
"Hey guys, you know what sucks about being a Baldwin?"
"What?"
"Nothing!"

Billy Ripken obviously didn't live up to his brothers standards (who could), but hey, just making it to the bigs in any capacity is an accomplishment!!!

Taken with the word "fuckface" written on his bat? Indeed he did! Here's the source: http://www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/ripken.htm |

Just because I read in the paper (OK, the Daily News) this morning about how he keeps getting turned away from nice restaurants in NYC, even when he tells them he's Rob Lowe's brother and Hilary Swank's husband. Poor guy.
