Abramoff's father to George Clooney: You made Jack's daughter cry!

[Bluebear]

The father of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff says George Clooney's off-color joke about his son's name during the Golden Globe Awards made the lobbyist's 12-year-old daughter cry.

In a letter to Clooney posted Friday on the Web site of The Desert Sun newspaper in Palm Springs, Frank Abramoff said he was astonished by the actor's "glib and ridiculous attack" during Monday's televised program.

"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."

He said the lobbyist's daughter, who was watching the show, was in "a fit of tears" after hearing Clooney's remarks.

"Are you proud of that?" Abramoff wrote. "Shame on you."

34. I see your tactics spread across all the discussions, don't they? for

someone who apparently just joined us today, you have managed to be rather obstreperous.

and PLEASE learn the difference between "your" your ( P ) Pronunciation Key (yr, yôr, yr; yr when unstressed)
adj. The possessive form of you.
Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments.
A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right.
Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to indicate a type familiar to the listener: your basic three-story frame house.



and "you're" you're ( P ) Pronunciation Key (yr; yr when unstressed)

Contraction of "you are"

6. Pulling a Mrs. Alito...

[melody]

7. Then he shouldn't have raised an amoral slug n/t

[DELUSIONAL]

8. Tough -- so her dad's a criminal -- live with it girl.

No sympathy from me. This is war -- a moral war.

Thousands of children have lost their fathers and mothers thanks to the dogmatic support her daddy has given the bushie crime family.

War is hell -- and collateral damage happens. (edit -- her feelings were damaged/hurt)

[TahitiNut]

9. Personally, I think Lindsay Graham made her cry.

:dunce:

Is she married to Sam Alito? :silly:

[proud patriot]

10. it was probably the grandfather cussing at the T.V.

that caused her to cry .

[journalist3072]

11. When did Republicans become such whiny bastards?

Boo freakin' boo; sob, sob, sob.

Memo to "Jack Off": When you break the law in a high-profile way, you run the risk of becoming the butt of everyone's jokes. Get over it.

[Cha]

15. Uh, all their collective

lives.

[journalist3072]

29. ROFL!!!!! eom

[spun_in_montana]

12. I think the truth has

already come out, at least some of it, its called a guilty plea....

[orwell]

13. Reply from an Iraqi Mother...

..."Dear Frank:

Your son's continuing criminal enterprise directly led to the coronation of King George, who was directly lethal to many innocent and decent Iraqis. One day the truth about "dim son" will come out and there will be a lot of people in your party and others lined up to apologize for their efforts to destroy our family and our nation.

Now go fuck yourself."

[Bluebear]

14. Bravo. nt

[bettyellen]

16. have you read some of your son's emails? you let him kiss his mother with

that filthy hateful greedy mouth? i hope you have to sell your boca condo to help pay his legal bills, asshole.

[thefloyd]

18. WhaaaaaWhaaa

Are you proud of your son? Jack off made me cry

[Malikshah]

19. Shame....Frank??? Shame. F*&^ you for raising a

vile son. Shame on you you lame piece of crap.

You have no place to discuss shame as it is obvious you have no conception of it. Proof? Look at the filth you raised and support.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. They read the letter on AAR

and I was in tears too. Laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

His son is a con man of the highest order, and quite obviously took great vocal pleasure in the fact that he conned thousands of people to line his pockets. Boo hoo hoo, dad. Did you think your son was going to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his acts of selflessness??

:rofl:

25. Did she cry when her father plead guilty to criminal charges?

She only cries when someone compares her father's name to masturbation?

26. Curious Thing For Jack's Father To Say - " 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."

What do you think he's talking about? What does he know? Could Abramoff be a double agent? Could Abramoff be working on the inside to bring down *Co?

It seems like an odd thing for the father to say - given all we've heard about Jack and how he operates.

I know usually a parent will stick up for their kid no matter what he/she does. But to come out with a statement like "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" - seems curiously odd.

I think someone should lean on the father to find out what he meant.

[seabeyond]

28. her father breaks law, going to jail, i think that probably made her

cry a little harder. that is the stupidest

[Solly Mack]

32. I'm sure it is hard for a 12 year old in her situation

Your father is a crook and the object of ridicule and scorn. His name and face plastered all over papers and TV's - his crimes far reaching.

And I am sorry she is having to go through this...but Granddaddy needs to get a grip and remember who did this to his granddaughter - it was his son who did this - the girl's own father did this to her. No one else.

[Bluebear]

35. Absolutely. The girl must be mortified about the whole circumstance.

I feel terrible for her. Having said that, her grandpappy embarrassing her futher like this is the icing on the cake.

33. Poor babe - she's going to cry even more when daddy goes bye-bye
