Our former governor, Rod Blagojevich, is going to write a tell-all book for a six-figure deal.
The only problem is the title is pretty boring.
"The Governor."
Snooze city.
Who's going to spend $24.95 for that?
Here at BackTalk, we're happy to suggest a few snappier titles for our former governor's new book.
How about "Show Me the Money"
Or "Sex, Lies and Audiotape"
Or "Animal House: The Inside Story of Illinois Politics"?
Those are just a few suggestions, and we're sure the dedicated readers of the Chicago Sun-Times will come up with better ones.
Let's hear from you.
This blog brought to you by the Sun-Times editorial board (click on names to read bios):
How about "Governor Crazy"
I know, I know!! IF I DID IT
Book Titles:
1. BlagoBull@%^
2. "Let's Make a BlagoDeal"
3. "Don't Le My Hair Fool Ya--There is a real skull under there"
I like Pat Quinn's, "Today a Peacock Tomorrow a Feather Duster" or something from SNL, "Really, Really, Sex You" or
"Gandhi Me and Martin Luther King".
If Blagojevich talks of other peoples' "wrong doing" he will implicate himself and he won't do that, after he and his lawyers edit the book it could turn out to be a childrens story.
"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN"
Pay to Play - The Continued History of Every Illinois Politician.
SELLOUT
It Cost To Be The Boss - Ask the Mayor!
IF THE GOV FITS, YOU CAN'T ACQUIT!
Ill-Annoying

"From Hair To Captivity."

How about "It's Me Again!"
"I, Jagoff"
"Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow."
"The Rodyssey: How I Succeeded in Turning the Second Most Corrupt State in the Nation into the First"
"True Lies"
4 titles
Governors Gone Wild
Let me tell my side - I didn't know I was on tape
A Governor Knocked down but not out
I'm not the only one dirty (I gotta tell my side)
I would call the book "Hairy Situation"
FROM HAIR TO TEMERITY
My Life as a Mole
In the All-American tradition of making money from any kind of behavior, whether good or bad, how about: "Blabbing for Dollars"
I'm an ass@%#*! Wanna buy some letters?

"From Here To Egoternity"
"Hair today, gone tomorrow"

BLAGO'S BOOK TITLE : 'PAY-TO-PLAY FOR DUMMIES' WITH A FORWARD WRITTEN BY SENATOR ROLAND BURRIS .
Suggestions for the title to Blogajevich upcoming book:
1. Sucker State: Idiot-Friendly Politics for the New Age (forward by George Ryan)
2. Chicago Chicanery Handbook: A Guide for Political Machinists
In the words of MC Hammer, how about....."2 LEGIT 2 QUIT"
Blah, Blah, Blag
"You have GOT to be kidding me!"
If Blago is sincere about giving up all the dirt on every politician then my choice for book title is.....THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!
"Did I Hear 1 Million?"
"MEIN COIF"
Blago Blunders or
"Buy me and Im the idiot?"
My F***ing Experience

Excellent, I don't have a problem with it. It's silly to think there wasn't any other dirty players involved. The only folks that should be concerned are those that have something to hide. However, if there's nothing to hide, this won't turn into a bid deal. PUBLISH!

So What-Who Cares-I Don't
By: Deep Pockets Rod
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm schizophrenic
and so am I."
A compilation of fragmented thoughts
from the mind of Rod Blagojevich.
No new suggestions, but my favorites so far are definitely "From Hair to Temerity" and "Mein Coif".
And as a side note, my favorite nickname comes from The Daily Show: "Scumdog Million-hairs"
Ahhh... I'm almost going to miss that guy.
how about C.R.E.A.M
CASH.RULES.EVERYTHING.AROUND.ME
OR
PAY TO PLAY
OR
POLITICS AS USUAL
OR
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH
How about, "I did it Chi way"
Another proposed title:
"I Put the Annoy in Illinois"
Me pay Taxes? But I'm a politician.
You said They will raise Taxes
I'm a politician, we're all scum.
I offered "Blah Blah Blag". But I really have to vote for "Mein Coif". Ingenious!!!!!
