Blagojevich:  Name That Book
 
Oprah, your book club is on alert!
 
It was announced yesterday that ousted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has signed a deal to write a book about about the “dark side of politics.”  It’s said to be a six-figure deal with independent publisher Phoenix Books.  The scheduled release date is this October.
 
The tentative title of the book is “The Governor.”  How lame is that?  For that amount of money, you’d think he’d put a little bit more effort into coming up with something snappier.  This idea is already spreading like wildfire throughout cyberspace -- but what the hell -- here’s a few of media mischief’s suggestions for the governor’s upcoming exposé.
 
 
I’m a Little Bit Gandhi, I’m a Little Bit Martin Luther King
 
I’m Okay, You’re a (expletive) Moron
 
Appoint This!
 
Rod’s Big Pop-Up Hair Book
 
Seduction of the Innocent
(with apologies to Fredric Wertham)
 
G is for Guilty
 
How to Win Senators and Influence Congressmen
 
My (expletive) Golden Parachute
 
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
 
Roland with the Punches
 
Next Stop: Legoland

Okay, those are mine.  Anyone out there have other suggestions?  If so, add it below.  But, tempting as it is, please don’t put in any obscenities.  They will be deleted.  Have fun!
