Jonathan Gruber in 2010: “If I am out there saying things which are blatantly untrue my colleagues won’t respect me”

 I know some of you are probably getting Grubered-out at this point but the video I am about to share with you is priceless in the wake of the revelations from the past week.

  Back in 2010 Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber talked about the role the academia played in crafting the legislation. He claimed that because the academia was so interested in protecting their reputations that they would police themselves better than if outside influences were writing the law. You can trust them, the intelligentsia is not like the others…

  Here is what he said:

  Okay, so he was not out there in the public saying things that were blatantly untrue, he had no idea that his comments would eventually be made public, I will give him that much. However it is pretty clear that he was sailing on a river of deceit in a boat named ‘Semantic Corruption’ when he helped to author the law, and I would argue this dabbling in subtle examples of manipulation and trickery is much more worse than outright lying.

  One has to wonder at this point if his colleagues do in fact respect the way he was able to manipulate the stupid American voters, somehow I think they do.
