A good yarn

Involving Blagojevich, Ol' Dirty Bastard and the publishing industry.

Epic:

Jarred Weisfeld was just about ready to file his $10 million defamation suit against Macmillan Publishers when he brought Rod Blagojevich to their building to see if St. Martin’s Press, the big commercial unit there, might want to publish the former Illinois governor’s memoir.

“I was completely upfront with them,” the agent said recently. “I said, ‘Hey, look, I’m gonna be suing you guys in a few days—is this gonna have any effect on my client?’ They said the two things had nothing to do with each other.”
