George Clooney defends dad Nick

[DrBear]

George Clooney has a guest column in Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer complaining that his dad, "Moneymaze" host Nick, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in northern Kentucky, is getting a raw deal from the local GOP which is punning on George's "The Perfect Storm" as a putdown of his dad, and saying that (a) joking about a fatal event is tacky and (b) if you're going to attack Nick, attack him on his own merit, not his kid's. (I can hardly wait to see the Moneymaze jokes the Elephant crowd comes up with, if they even remember it).



Here's the column

 I am truly shocked.

I'm not shocked at anything in the article, I'm shocked that this came out of a CINCINNATI paper, had a GAME SHOW HOST'S NAME in it, and Henke didn't post ANYTHING about it!

If they do decide to jab at Nick's TV career, it's more likely that they'll jab at his hosting duties at AMC (back when AMC was worth watching).

 That deserved a spoiler Seriously, if Henke hears about it, I'm sure he'll chime.
