On Monday your humble correspondent speculated how the New Republic or Politico or other liberal sources would spin the Jonathan Gruber video scandal story in which he boasted about perpetrating Obamacare deception in order to get it passed. I offered bonus points to whichever liberal site could dream up the most creative spin control to explain away the viral video. Well, congratulations to Politico for the most entertaining spin.
How did they do it? Besides being rather late to the story, they finally got around to it today, they were careful to bury it with no reference to any of the Gruber Obamacare deception videos on the front page. On top of that they made both of their stories laughably brief without even posting the original Gruber video which set off the outcry or even a link to it. Finally, they made Fox News, not Gruber, the real focus of their reports. First off we start with the belated buried Politico report by Lucy McCalmont that announces "New video surfaces of Obamacare architect" and then gives no link first video.

Too late to bury it now. Gruber better avoid Ft. Marcy park if he knows what’s good for him.
The FIX is in for RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
Why won’t a GOP- or conservative-affiliated group run a crafty commercial on national TV spelling out the situation, complete with the key Gruber video-documented quotations? Need there be an election in order to motivate the swaying of public opinion? We need to kill this law dead.
All the Republicans in congress are outraged! Aren’t they?
As his face gets better known, he might have to find someplace new to live. He’s only gonna get more popular with people he’d rather not be around...
Politico is at times worse than the old lying mediots.
First You Tube link to Gruber bragging about lying to stupid American Democratic Congressits and rat voters about ObozoCare.

Politico and Gruber are cut from the same cloth...
Any media outlet that apologizes for Gruber is complicit in labeling American voters as stupid.
