Rahm Emanuel: Paramedic.

[wyldwolf]

You go to a movie and sit down next to a man. The man proceeds to have a seizure (no connection, we're told). You swear at the theatre staff until they summon the emergency services. You save a life. You go back to the Oval Office.

Josh Lyman was never this exciting.

A surprised fellow moviegoer passes on word that Rahm Emanuel took time out Saturday night to see The Wrestler at the E Street Cinema last night with a Secret Service Agent.

It was not a quiet night out.

"The guy sitting next to Rahm -- literally sharing an armrest with him -- had a seizure of some kind," the moviegoer tells me. "Rahm used some vulgarities to impress upon the movie theater staff -- who wanted to move the guy out of the movie theater so they could restart the film -- that they should wait until EMS got there."

Emanuel stayed and helped, I'm told, until EMS arrived.

Fire Dog Lake discusses this today.

Jane Hamsher gets right to the point.

Emanuel probably planted the person in the theater so he could come across as a hero. Everyone in the netroots and the GOP know what kind of person Rahm is!

1. Good guy. A Bushie would have had the guy sent to Gitmo for disturbing the film. nt

2. Whatever anyone thinks of Rahm I would want him in the movie with me, swearing at someone to get me

an ambulance.

3. I didn't trust this story when politico reported it. Nice to see it

someplace else. I like Rahm and I'm glad he's on our side!

4. AH-HA - Sitting Next to Rahm Causes Seizures!

That's how he controls President Obama, SOS Clinton, the rest of the administration and the weather patterns!!!

We're on to you now Mr. Emanuel...
