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."
This is hysterical. You can always count on a Holly-weird Lib to do or say something funny when they think they're being all serious.
-Dinosaurs face extinction (65 Million B.C.E)
-Saladin captures Jerusalem (1187)
-Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated (13 July,1914)
-Jennifer Aniston gets bad haircut (Last week)
Sometimes I am certain that the world should revolve around me, then something irrational occurs that convinces me it shouldn't. I don't know why. :)
Unfortunately, the only people interested in capturing them on film are producers for NOVA
Well, that's true. ;-)

George Clooney quotes: (deep thoughts by George Clooney)
America can't beat anyone anymore.
We're picking on people we can beat.
I decided if I walk outside and get hit by a bus, everybody'll say, 'He crammed a load into 34 years.'
I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.
I don't like to share my personal life... it wouldn't be personal if I shared it.
I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.
I'm certainly the last person to give advice on, well, anything.
I'm not smart enough and I don't know enough about what's going on.
I'm really white trash.
I'm the flavor of the month.
Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties.
The government itself is running exactly like the Sopranos and they sit back and they make deals. And they say okay, 'I'm going do this: France, you're getting the pipelines.'
The only failure is not to try.
There's no connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq.
You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now.
You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk.
No coincidence that Clooney rhymes with Loonie.
In fact, he's been telling his friends on the left to try to bring more well reasoned arguments to advance their agenda and to avoid attacks on opponents...
You mean well reasoned arguments like these?
"The government itself is running exactly like the Sopranos and they sit back and they make deals. And they say okay, 'I'm going do this: France, you're getting the pipelines."
"You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk." (Responding to a comment that "Solaris" was a boring film by a 'non-filmmaker')
"What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. Even Reagan knew more about leadership than that, and he was as bad a symbol of America as I can think of, off-hand. But at least he's been in enough cowboy movies to know he had to come out and stand on top of the rubble and be seen shaking his fist or something."
"They tell us we're going to war and no one's saying 'Bullshit' loud enough. And the language! Listen to the language! 'Evil.' 'Evil'? 'Nexus of evil'? 'Evil-doer'? That's my favourite, 'evil-doer'! What's wrong with their vocabulary: couldn't they come up with 'schmuck'?"
President George Bush 'is just dim,' actor George Clooney claims in the upcoming February issue of GQ magazine, the New York Post’s “Page Six” revealed on Wednesday. The Post writers relayed how GQ reports that Clooney, probably best known for playing a doctor on ER and as the star of the Oceans Eleven movie, believes Mario Cuomo should be President, keeps a photo of Jimmy Carter's ER set visit on display in his bathroom and “likens Newt Gingrich to a 'dinosaur,’ laughing, 'the man has no arms.’"
"The problem is we elected a manager, and we need a leader," Clooney tells the magazine. "Let's face it: Bush is just dim."
"Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimers." When asked by Ms. Smith if the remark went over the line, Clooney replied: "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the NRA; he deserves whatever anyone says about him."
Denouncing President Bush for planning to kill “innocent people” in Iraq, actor George Clooney insisted on Monday's Charlie Rose show on PBS that pursuing war with Iraq while not doing so with North Korea illustrates how “we’re picking on people we can beat.”
This is what Georgie sees when he looks out the window...
To quote Santa when he was talking to Sam the Snowman... 
"It's not about you, douchebag. Don't be so self-imposing. Don't you see? You show biz types are just trying to shift the focus away from the crisis and onto yourselves. You're an entertainer. It's a simple job, okay? Do a dance, show us your boobs, and make us happy, monkey."
Except in Clooney's case, he only way I'd be happy is if he had a massive coronary, and everyone simply kept walking over him....
I hate to say anything supportive one of Hollyweirds most notable crybabies, but no, George, you didn't cause sKerry to lose. He did that all by himself, with a little help from the Swiftboat Veterans and POWs for Truth!
As Daddy always said, "Son, be careful who you step on on the way up. You are sure to meet them on the way down."
Geez, Clooney, get over yourself!
That's a bit redundant.
The sad thing is that he's considered a deep thinker in his neck of the woods.
Clooney thinks too much of himself. Kerry nuked his own campaign by his own actions.
"Did you feel a sudden disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced by George Clooney?"
"No, just a headache."
And I thought it was because Kerry would not agree to come to a rally hosted by Bishop Pilla costing him the State of Ohio:

But he doesn't know that... so don't tell him.
Nah. He's mentally defecative, not retarded.
