ASHTON KUTCHER - KUTCHER: 'AMERICA GOT PUNK'D BY BUSH'

ASHTON KUTCHER has accused American President GEORGE W BUSH of 'Punking" America when he was elected in 2000.

Referring to his TV spook show PUNK'D - in which he tricks celebrity pals - the actor claims Bush duped him and others who voted Republican in the last presidential elections.

Speaking at a rally for Bush's 2004 opponent JOHN KERRY in Iowa, Kutcher says, "I voted for him because I thought he was like me. I thought he was a good old boy like me.

"You're not going to fool me again."

A man then shouted from the audience, "You got punked!" And Kutcher replied, "Yah, we got punked. I'm here to take responsibility for my mistakes."
