Jonathan Gruber testified today before the House concerning the bait-and-switch tactic used to pass Obamacare despite the fact that the Administration knew the legislation was a flat out tax.
Gruber was a self-dealing architect of that legislation, the passage of which has netted his company millions in compensation. Gruber achieved notoriety by publicly boasting of his deception at the same time he berated Americans as stupid.
Today the chickens came home to roost for Jonathan Gruber, who got crucified during a 5-minute examination by Rep. Mike Turner.
Turner put on a clinic in witness control, posing 14 yes-no questions to the stunned MIT professor. Each time Turner didn't get a responsive answer (“yes,” “no,” or “I don't know”) to one of his questions, he cut Gruber off at the knees and immediately planted another short truncheon into the forehead of the reeling witness.
An epic take down (perhaps even better than Alan Grayson's annihilation of financial criminals in '09-'10). The ashen faces of the panel witnesses at the conclusion of this bloodbath are not to be missed.
