4. What about the hardships and misery...
of the people Jack Abramoff ripped off?? What about the hardships and misery of 7-year old sex slaves
in the Mariana Islands???

Dear Mr. Abramoff..SHUT THE HELL UP. You are as much as a asshole as your little boy Jack is.

11. Parents need to know
when to stop defending their offspring.


It's not all that uncommon for parents of criminals to be in total denial - and to be enablers. Kind of makes you wonder.

13. I don't feel sorry for him one bit...
he raised the jack-off SOB.... and apparently neither one
of em know the difference between right and wrong.
The old fart is severely misguided.

9. You got to read this part of the letter..
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 05:51 PM by IChing
We have had to endure two years of unmitigated, outrageous falsehood directed at my son
and his record of achievement on behalf of his clients and friends.
The bloodthirsty media, guilty of untold character assassinations during contemporary times,
have even outdone themselves in their lust to create a cartoon
which does not come close to resembling this fine man, my son.

22. Apparently he hasn't bothered to read Jack's e-mails
Or to note that Jack has plead. Perhaps if he removed his cranium from his rectum he could (to quote the Violent femmes) "take a good look at what boy has done".

10. Still clinging to vestige of innocence, regardless of the stink
Must be tough to see one's own son up to his neck in his own feces.

12. This is a tough one to handle.....One would think that the Abramoff
family would be smart enough to catch a dummy, instead of crying over the words of a comic Whew!

14. Awww...is that where little Jack learned to be so compassionate?
In a memo from the time, Abramoff counseled his troops: ''It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently."

Their favorite movie was ''Patton", based on the bellicose World War II general's life. Abramoff & Co. would pump up the College Republicans' field organizers by forcing them to memorize George C. Scott's key speech in the movie, substituting ''Democrat" for ''Nazi": ''The Democrats are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood! Shoot them in the belly!"

15. Ma Barker probably felt the same way.
:eyes: Seems as though we've now identified at least one source of Jack-off's amoral and sociopathic behavior.

21. Hardships and misery were earned by greed and crookery...
Those Indians tribes got scammed by this jerk. They know hardship and misery, and this guy made money off it.

24. Love it, I do! Striking a nerve, Clooney did!
as Yoda would say!

There are a lot of names I wouldn't want to inflict on a child of mine if they had my last name too! I can talk and joke about them, but I wouldn't name a child with them.

25. I told my husband the joke
about naming your son Jack when your last name ends in off. He had a good chuckle over that.
