Ben Smith looks at the best show in town: Blago
This blog can’t really capture the long-form style of Blagojevich’s swan song, but he’s going down swinging, with a call to fire Rahm Emanuel for being as guilty as he — according to a theory under which he is being impeached for fighting for citizens right to cheap prescription drugs.
Blago said lawmakers should “demand that President Obama fire Rahm Emanuel” because he favored the program. Blagojevich suggested Senators McCain and Ted Kennedy be “indicted as co-conspirators.”
“I followed every law and never, ever intended to violate any law,” Blagojevich said. “I’m here to give every possible explanation to every one of these allegations. Who knows, maybe you’ll reconsider and allow me to call those witnesses.”
It’s getting better

Washington Post’s Dana Milbank see Al Gore:
The lawmakers gazed in awe at the figure before them. The Goracle had seen the future, and he had come to tell them about it.
What the Goracle saw in the future was not good: temperature changes that “would bring a screeching halt to human civilization and threaten the fabric of life everywhere on the Earth—and this is within this century, if we don’t change”…
Once Al Gore was a mere vice president, but now he is a Nobel laureate and climate-change prophet. He repeats phrases such as “unified national smart grid” the way he once did “no controlling legal authority”—and the ridicule has been replaced by worship, even by his political foes…
The Goracle’s powers seem to come from his ability to scare the bejesus out of people.
Gore is the Prophet Of His Age.

Talking point:
A 93-year-old man froze to death inside his home just days after the municipal power company restricted his use of electricity because of unpaid bills, officials said.
Marvin E. Schur died “a slow, painful death,” said Kanu Virani, Oakland County’s deputy chief medical examiner, who performed the autopsy.
