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."

George is right. I, for example, am one of those who did not vote for Kerry because I noted that Clooless, er Clooney, was not on that election train. I was forced to ask myself:"Where was George?" The absence of his public support totally unnerved me, so I voted Bush.

Yeah,George, you're the reason I didn't jump from my party and go and vote for Kerry......

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."Yep that did it for me. It wasn't lying about his medals! It wasn't lying about the Swift Boat Vets! It wasn't that he never had a plan, little less a clue as to what to do as President! It wasn't because his wife was a flaming B!tch! It wasn't because every left wing scumbag was supporting him, including being endorced by Bin Laudin!
No it was all because George Clooney didn't ride the choo-choo with Botox Boy that changed my vote!

Yup, and without George Clooney the sun would not rise in the east and set in the west. To a true narcissist everything happens either to bless or curse him.
