Rham's Night Out

Far be it from me to venture into the realm of he "what if..." that conservative bloggers so often do in order to validate their waffer-thin reasoning - but let's read the following and see how any member of the Bush administration would have reacted to this situation.

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.

From Ben Smith

Good on you, Rham.
