Open letter
An open letter to Frank Abramoff, Rancho Mirage father of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff:
Oh how far Washington has fallen. When you rose to accept the challenges of defending your son's guilty plea, you decided to turn a blind eye the actions of your son that disgraced your family and even your dear departed father. Is this the tradition of Washington, Eisenhower, Roosevelt and Kennedy? Are you the heir to the dignity and greatness of Washington’s past, or more likely a relative of a catalyst to a depressing and horrific future?
Your glib and ridiculous attack on George Clooney, coupled with your misguided attempt to defend Jack's illegal and corrupt actions have brought shame and dishonor on you and your family. What drove you to this lapse in lucidity, I can never know, but you need to know that your son's actions were deeply hurtful to many innocent and decent people — who love their country and who cherish their families.
We have had to endure four years of unmitigated, outrageous falsehood directed at every citizen, both native and otherwise, of this country due to Jack's record of corruption on behalf of his clients and friends. The narcoleptic media, guilty of untold sins of omission during contemporary times, have even outdone themselves in their lack of drive to create a cartoon which could adequately come close to resembling this man, your son.
The fact that you would spend those few moments accorded to you, as an honor for your work as an parent, bashing George Clooney's name and his family, is astonishing. How do you sleep at night, other than, perhaps with the drink that you most obviously need in the face of the truth.. Funny, it was very hard for us little people in discarded rule of law land to tell whether you had indulged in the bottle or not.
My country was also fought for by my beloved departed father. His name, too, was shamed by your son's behavior. And, were he alive today, would be standing firmly behind me, as his entire family and many more true friends than you will ever know, in seeing to it that justice is done where your son and his associates are concerned.
Not that it matters to you, I am sure, but the worst part of your son's rampage on our country is played out in the futures of many young people, including my sweet 13-year-old daughter, one of my two children. I should not waste my time reading the garbage spewing from your head, but my daughter's future depends on me doing just that. Your son's assault on our country drove her to a fit of tears. Are you proud of that?
For many generations, many families have worked hard to serve this country we love. They have enlisted as young men to serve our nation in many defenses to assaults on the laws and the tranquility of our society. My father and brothers did the same, and they have all served their country in an honorable way. Your son dedicated his life to scamming and denigrating causes, which have made this nation suffer. He gave unsparingly of his time and resources to help those in need of a bribe or a payoff, in return for favors and considerations for himself and his associates.
You spend your days attempting to justify your son's assaults on our nation and our traditions. You mock those who serve our nation and its flag honestly and honorable. I revile your son and his actions and privately try to educate others about him and his criminal behaviors in front of any audience I can gather. I have news for you Frank Abramoff — one day the truth about your son will come out and there will be a lot of people in your family and others lined up to demand that he apologize for his efforts to destroy our country and our trust in our government. You won’t be in that line, though, be cause the plague of arrogance and falsehood will surely continue to blind your eyes and cause your tongue to disgrace the country who brought you your freedom and your security.
One wonders how your grandchildren would respond, were the roles reversed. One wonders whether your children would delight in someone engaging in behaviors that corrupted our government for his own gain and besmirching your country's reputation around the world. You have brought yourself to a low unparalleled except perhaps by the parents of any other traitor to our society and our values. Shame on you. If anyone needs to apologize to your granddaughter, it's your son, not George Clooney.
----
Bite me Frank.
