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

"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 Cooney's remarks.

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

Clooney took a jab at the tainted lobbyist after accepting a supporting actor trophy for the thriller "Syriana."
