Rod Blagojevich gets six-figure book deal

By GottaLaff

Apparently, if you have an unpronounceable name, use words like &%!@! and *#*@!, make a few shady deals while in public office, and get impeached, you are rewarded with a book deal:

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has landed a six-figure book deal to tell his story, his spokesman confirmed to CNN Monday. [...]

The book, which has a working title of “The Governor,” is scheduled to be released by Phoenix Books in October.

Glenn Selig, Blagojevich's publicist and founder of The Publicity Agency, said the governor will divulge information that will be “embarrassing” to himself and others.

See? Now that's the American way.
