Awwwwww......didums get a wittle bit upset??

""By Erica Solvig, The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun
The father of controversial Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff is responding to actor George Clooney for what he's describing as a "glib and ridiculous attack" on his son.

Frank Abramoff, in a letter addressed to Clooney and sent to The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun Thursday, said he was watching the Golden Globes Monday night when Clooney, during his acceptance speech for best supporting actor, thanked Jack Abramoff "just because" and made a comment about the lobbyist's name.

"Who would name their kid Jack with the last words 'off' at the end of your last name? No wonder that guy is screwed up," Clooney said during the internationally televised awards show.

In the letter, Frank Abramoff furiously defends the name, saying his son is named after Frank's father. In the two-page letter, he calls Clooney's act a "lapse in lucidity" and an "obscene query""

3. did this guy ever hear the expression

"Choose your battles wisely?"

Aside from that, look at this hilarious line:

My son dedicated his life to patriotic and religious causes, which have made this nation great. He gave unsparingly of his time and resources to help those in need.

Yeah, Duke Cunningham. Now there's a guy in need.

Please.

4. Aw, li'l Jackie's in the hot seat and here comes daddy! Hey, Frank...

...the time to protect your golden boy is long past. And, by the way, while we're talking, just exactly when did that boy learn such amoral behavior? Was it before or after you bought him the College Republicans presidency?

5. Why was a good Reichwing conservative watching the Golden Globes?

Couldn't wait to see whether or not Brokeback Mountain won?

7. Correction

George, it was his great grandparents that came up with wacky name!

[Jara sang]

8. Hey Frank! Go play with yourself!

Your Jack Abramoff son is a disgrace to this country!

9. This guy's going to have to get used to it

The Abramoff scandal is going to go down in history and Jack isn't going to be the good guy in the story. :)

10. OMG! I actually was rather appalled at Dennis Quaid's comment

about "Broadback Mountain" being the type of film that rhymed with "chick" flick. (i.e. replace chick w/ dick for those that were to slow to get the analogy)

I thought it was rather politically incorrect and quite obvious that he has a problem with homosexuals. Fortunately or Unfortunately, however you want to look at it, it appears not many people at the golden globes even understood the analogy. Maybe they were too drunk?

The Abromhoff joke was funny and since my maiden name was actually a lot closer to "off" than Abramhoff and my father joked about naming my brother Jack it was especially funny to me!

11. here's a thought

Perhaps daddy should ahve spent a bit more time on teaching his kid about the evils of lying, cheating, and stealing and given him the name Piz or Fuk
