As the days lurch toward a June 2010 trial, he's trying a new tack that happens to dovetail nicely with his love of the spotlight: fighting the allegations with sheer ubiquity. His new martyr-toned memoir, The Governor, and its attendant media blitz have been balletic exercises in the deflection of blame, and recent reports that he'll appear on the upcoming season of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice suggest that...
