George Clooney is convinced he ruined John Kerry's chances in the race for US president in 2004 - by snubbing an invitation and hurting his feelings.

The Ocean's Twelve actor was one of several screen stars invited to ride on Kerry's election train, but it all went downhill for the Democrat when Clooney stayed away.

He recalls: "Kerry asked me to ride on his train - he had a train going cross-country after he was nominated and some actors went on board. I called him and explained that I couldn't do it. I'd hurt him. I'd actually caused him harm at the polls."

Talk about inflated sense of worth! I thought George was dumb, but I can say he is really dumb. Kerry would have still lost even with him on the train. If George was active in the campaign it would have been landslide. American's have woke up to realize they are smarter than most actors.

Yes, and smart enough not to say "have woke up".

(kidding)

George! You're so vain! And such a clown!

[Dallas59]

I ought to send him a mail...alot....asking why and start blaming him for everything.....Heh...heh...heh...

[mtbopfuyn]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

He's quite the humble one isn't he? No George, the world does not revolve around you and Kerry sank his own campaign with his views and vacillatude on all the key issues.

Geez, George -- put the mirror down before you become sexually excited...

[SouthernFreebird]

Is this a joke!?! Is he really that full of himself....

He's right, I didn't vote for Kerry cause George didn't ride his train. Bwahahahahahahahahaha

[Muzzle_em]

What a pompous JERK!
John F-ing Kerry lost because thankfully, the smart voters outnumbered the idiot voters.
Don't think that's going to happen when Hillary runs, sad to say.

[Berlin_Freeper]

If only Clooney had rode on Kerry's train...

I would certainly have never minded the treason and immorality of the Democrats and voted for the back-stabber flip-flopping Kerry...

Oh! If only...

[Appalled but Not Surprised]

Movie stars .... is there anything they don't know?

[ahayes]

Delusions of grandeur. . .

[mewzilla]

Delusions of grandeur much, George?

[gridlock]

Hopefully Clooney will not make the same mistake again! As you go, so goes the country, George! No Democrat can win without you standing by their side, as active as possible, and making those insightful political observations that have made you such a powerful force in American politics.

The Swiftboat Vets should sue. George Looney is trying to take credit for their victory! ;)

I am afraid that Hollywood is throwing laurels at Looney's feet at the moment, which is puffing him up and making him more insufferable than usual.
