Lightnin' Rod Blagojevich has decided to go all self-righteous sob sister, and without naming all the names tells some sordid tales of legislative life that are almost as demented and gripping as an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Booze! Broads! Double dippers! Jaguar-driving state senators playing zero sum games with hard working folks' tax dollars!

Corruption in the city department of Streets and Sanitation! Oh and it just gets better...
