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."

Right. I didnt vote for Hanoi John, that backstabbing, self-aggrandizing, lying, despicable POS just because an actor didnt ride his train.
WOW! Ive read that some of the Hollywood types have massive egos, but this guy is way out there.

George Clooney is my wife's favorite actor. I warned her of his liberal tendencies, but she still melts whenever she sees his face. Do you think I ought to tell her about this thread?

According to Imus, Kerry's campaign hit the skids when he refused to stop the train while crossing the Imus Ranch for kids with cancer (and old farts with vacation homes).

Caught Clooney on Oprah, few weeks back. When asked the five people he would love to meet and have dinner with... at the top of his list were Bill and Hill Clinton.
This made me want to wretch. It is hard to remember when this baffoon opens his mouth that he is a celebrity in N. Kentucky and his Aunt Rosemary is remembered fondly.
Then again... how many celebrities are known for being honest and conservative at the same time? He should send Kerry a dozen roses in condolence.

I wouldn't risk it. ;') I don't think he's particularly good looking, but I'm a notoriously poor judge of male beauty. :'D
