“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,”

I thought about this story and wondered if George Clooney would have said what he said to Abramoff's face. Kinda doubt it.

[untrained skeptic]

However, Nick Clooney 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."

I think I may find myself in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with Clooney on this one.

As he continues to flap his gums, patronage to his movies is receding faster than his hairline.

Clooney won a Best Supporting Actor Globe for "Syriana," a multilayered political thriller about corruption in the global oil industry.

Translation: His good buddies gave him an award because they want to promote his politics, despite the fact his movie's a piece of crap.

Clooney has no class? What a surprise. I saw his speech. The laughter was muted. He left the stage pretty much looking like the idiot he is.

I heard O'Reilly talk briefly about his recent meeting with Clooney. Adds a lot of credibility to O'Reilly saying Clooney is a very immature man.

Jack could kick Goerge's rear with one pinky...........

[fishtank]

George = Goerge

bttt just because I don't like George Clooney

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...

And Georgie's junior high locker room attempt at 'humor' is a 'positive effort to change the climate of American politics?'

[geezerwheezer]

Both father and son (Clooney) are big time losers. Father at his politics, and his idiot savant son as an actor/activist. Dumb is as dumb does, and those two are dumba$$es!

[Colorado Doug]

I am certainly not standing up for Cooney but Jack Abramoff is the only one responsible for his daughtor's tears. He is a criminal of the worst sort. He should be jailed and everyone who is convicted of accepting bribes from him should be stripped of office and jailed too.

Now, don't get me started on Clooney, as his family has plenty to be ashamed of as well.

[Dad yer funny]

yup RabidBartender,

most of Hollyweird aren't grounded in reality, and...

a segment of the population don't see the celebs just doing "ME TOO", they're really playing to each other

[outofhere2]

George Clooney is a big butt wipe. He can't believe the Hollywood recognition he gets, especially for someone who got his shot from being Rosemary Clooney's nephew and having a sometime role on the FACTS OF LIFE.

[Rakkasan1]

I think his name should be Jack Congress-off.

[SF Republican]

I like when George is being directed; when he is on his own he is a pure Dapper Dan man

[ghost of nixon]

Reminds me of when guys would go up to our college library front desk and ask the receptionist to page Jack Mehoff.

[Guenevere]

Yes, Abromoff is responsible for what he did or didn't do...

..but classless Clooney didn't have to make a joke about it in front of millions of viewers!

Believe it or not, not every family in America has heard of Jack Abromoff or care one whit about politics...

..but you can be sure lots of sheeple watch these silly shows...(Sad to say!)

...and Clooney has no character or class!

[wingsof liberty]

Clooneys awful, but hes nowhere near as bad as celebrities like Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover cozying up to their Commie buddies Chavez & Castro while hurling insults at the US and its President. In a word, "Scum."

[outofhere2]

you right. hollywood believes its own press.
