Who the heck would ever plunk good money down to read a book titled "The Governor" by Rod Blagojevich?
That's the working title of Blagojevich's planned book, but it's a terrible title. That's why you readers are being enlisted to come up with a juicy, compelling title for our former Gov. Dead Meat's tell-all book, which was announced Monday.
If your title wins, you'll get a prize, and I mean a real prize this time, something tangible.
Because I'm writing the column, I get to go first. So how about this one:
"Et Tu, DeLeo?"
That's a reference to Blagojevich's former close friend, the former shadow governor of Illinois, state Sen. James DeLeo (D-How You Doin?), who abandoned Dead Meat and voted to remove him from office after all the good times they had.

Blago's got a book deal? How awful. How to Make a Bad Stew Taste Better? I Ain't Done Yet? You Ain't Heard the Last of Me? I'm Not a Criminal Like Nixon? Move Over Huey Long? Just a few words of possibilities.
"I Don't Discuss Business at the Table" or
"This is The Business I've Chosen"
I luv the Godfather and Blago reminds me of the movie.

I luv The Godfather, and Blago reminds me of that movie
"Fear and Loathing in Chicago"
How about, "A Million Little (hair) Pieces" – foreword by James Frey.
The first billion is the hardest – Rod Blagojevich
"How a bad hair cut can ruin your life"
On the title what about "The Best Head of Hair in Government"...or something equally dorky like that. I do think though that for Patti Blagojevich an actress that could easily play her would be Kathy Griffin – her hair is big too so she and Rod would match. And the dialog – well it would sizzle.
I did have one question though – those six figures he got for the advance – were those figures before the decimal point or after??
They wouldn't be putting up the money for Balgo's book deal if they thought they weren't going to get a return on their investment-–regardless of the title's name--his name will sell it.
