Lobbyist's Dad Attacks Clooney Over Globes Joke

George Clooney has come under fire from disgraced US lobbyist Jack Abramoff's family, after poking fun at him in his Golden Globes Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech on Monday. The movie star joked, "Who would name their kid 'Jack' with 'off' at the end? No wonder the guy's screwed up," which infuriated Abramoff's father, who was watching the awards show at home. Frank Abramoff has since fired off a letter to Clooney via newspaper the Palm Springs Desert Sun, accusing the actor of being "glib and ridiculous." Abramoff's father says, "Your glib and ridiculous attack on my son, Jack, coupled with your obscene query as to the choice his mother and I made in naming him brought shame and dishonor on you and your profession. What drove you to this lapse in lucidity, I can never know, but you need to know that your words were deeply hurtful to many innocent and decent people. Are you the heir to the dignity and greatness of Hollywood's past, or, more likely, a portent to a depressing and horrific future?" Washington DC lobbyist Abramoff has been convicted of bribery and conspiracy after admitting he bribed public officials and defrauding Native American client

You know, has Daddy Abramoff even consider thought about the shame that his son has brought to the american political system, native americans and the republican party.

5. Hey Jack off's dad

Too bad your skin is so thin because your son is a disgrace and ultimately a criminal.

How on earth will you be able to survive when your baby boy is sentenced?

Good luck with that.

6. But then Clooney's dad told off Abramoff's dad!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/22/AR2006012201042.html

Clooney's father, Nick Clooney, told the newspaper: "I understand what it is like to have one's son criticized in a very public way. It's very painful and it's very difficult."

He added, "The difference here, and it must be said, is Mr. Abramoff's son, instead of pursuing some positive efforts to do what he hoped would change the climate of the American politics, has confessed and has been convicted by that confession of subverting the political process."

9. "One day the truth about my son will come out ......."

"Your words were deeply hurtful to many innocent and decent people," Abramoff wrote. "One day the truth about my son will come out and there will be a lot of people in your industry and others lined up to apologize for their efforts to destroy him and our family."

Call me silly Papa Abramoff but the truth HAS come out since your son has already confessed to his crimes!!
