Manson regrets pro-Bush comments

Rocker Marilyn Manson feels partly responsible for George W Bush winning the US presidential election in 2000.

In an interview with US talk show host Tucker Carlson at the time, the controversial rocker sarcastically condemned Democrat candidate Al Gore and told his fans to vote Bush.

Manson says: "He won by such a small amount, and particularly because it was in Florida.

"Who's to say there weren't a couple of our fans who took my sarcasm seriously and voted for him?"
