@MayorEmanuel: The Book

Our favorite profanity-laced fake Twitter account is getting a book deal.

It seems that Dan Sinker, the tweep behind -- the most epic of local political twitter handles -- will be releasing all of the tweets that he created during the recent Chicago Mayoral election in the fictional voice of former White Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (who also won the election, by the way) in book form.

For those you who followed @MayorEmanuel, it makes sense. What started out as 140 character long one shot jokes about Emanuel 's infamous knack for cursing evolved into serialized story telling with some biting sarcasm and plenty of Chicago insider jokes.

Dan told reporters that the book will compile all the tweets together and include explanations for non-Windy City natives when needed.

Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, is writing the book's forward.
