Break open those piggy banks
How much would you pay for Hollywood hunk George Clooney to wash your car in a toga?
The star of such films as "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Perfect Storm" is hoping to raise money for father Nick Clooney's congressional campaign.
According to the New York Post, Clooney, 42, made the oddball offer in a handwritten appeal to potential campaign donors, who were invited to a fund-raiser at his home in Studio City, Calif.
The letter begins: "OK, this is a little tricky. I'll start with a warning: I'm asking for money so you might want to stop reading and pretend you never got this letter."
"My father, Nick, is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Kentucky's 4th District. He's the Democratic candidate. ...
"There's a limit to what anyone can donate to a campaign. If I was allowed, I'd pay for the whole thing (and cover a few Father's Days), but I can't. So I'm writing you in hopes of scaring up some cash for his Congressional bid."
"If you can't or don't want to, I understand. However, if you can. ... I'm having a cocktail party at my house on Saturday March 6, at 7 p.m. It's a benefit so there will be entertainment, hors d'oeuvres and booze. And I'll wash your car every week till it's paid off and Armor-all the tires ... in a toga. Hope to see you there, George."
The former "ER" hunk notes the minimum contribution is $500 and the maximum $4,000. And who wouldn't pay top dollar to have him rub his hands all over your car? (Laurel wreath air freshener optional.)
BTTT
