Blago signs six figure book deal

MSNBC just reported that former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has signed a six-figure deal to write a book on appointing President Barack Obama’s replacement in the Senate.

Stay tuned. More to come.

UPDATE: Here’s the statement. The deal is with Phoenix books, who has also published books by KISS singer Gene Simmons and CNN host Larry King.

Blagojevich, who vehemently denies he tried to sell President Obama’s senate seat, will write about the discussions, the considerations and the factors involved in picking Obama’s successor to the U.S. Senate.
