Is George Clooney going to the be the next Arnold? We, and every other media outlet, can only speculate. The Reliable Source gives us a heads up that the former ER doc will be hitting the Hill tonight:

Washington’s favorite celebrity hunk, George Clooney, is back in town. Tonight he’ll be at a fundraiser at Lounge 201 on Capitol Hill for his father, Nick, who’s running for Congress as a Democrat in Kentucky. We’ve heard that George, who reveled in making “K Street” for HBO, may enjoy politicking more than show business.

With the Terminator firmly in office, it’s open season now on who the next big actor to turn politician will be. Personally, we were hoping for Ben Affleck or Denzel Washington to hit the political frey.

If you catch site of Clooney around town, let us know!
