Rod Blagojevich has landed a deal to write a book in which he will focus on ‘the discussions, the considerations and the factors involved in picking’ a U.S. Senate successor to Barack Obama…. Blagojevich’s publicity agent, Glenn Selig, said the deal was with an independent publisher, Phoenix Books, and was worth six figures. The news release said Blagojevich will expose the ‘dark side of politics’ that he witnessed as a former congressman and governor.”
