Blair on sale Claudia Sonea

It is of course a joke; the former Prime Minister is thinking to write his memoirs from the time he was at the country's charge. Although it comes as no surprise to anyone, the newspapers already are making a big fuss over the whole issue. Rumor has it that Robert Barnett, the famous lawyer who handled the contract of Bill Clinton for his memoirs, getting him a record deal of 12 million dollars. The ex-US President released his autobiography titled My Life and appointed the lawyer to take care of the financial aspect of talking with publishers on his behalf. A spokesman doing his duty as a diplomat stated that Blair is collaborating with the publisher to the creation of his biography- a smooth way of making public that an autobiography is on its way. However, the success of the book might be compromised by the fact that Alastair Campbell, former media chief of the Blair years, has already written a book about the Labour government. Also John Prescott is supposed to write a book. The former Prime Minister, presently Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet - the EU, US, UN and Russia, stepped down on June 27 with the sympathy of most of the British people, despite that in the last years a lot of them were against his attitude of following Bush in matters of foreign policy. Will his book get a similar contract as Bill Clinton's? Industry insiders say it will. Stay connected and find out how everything will turn out.
