Call this Gruber 2: Stupid and Stupider. Jonathan Gruber attempted to escape scrutiny for his October 2013 declaration that Americans are “stupid” and that ObamaCare was designed to exploit that and hide its true nature by saying that he regretted his “off the cuff” comments. “I basically spoke inappropriately,” he told Ronan Farrow, “and I regret having made those comments.”

“Voters are stupid” It’s proven every time Watters (from the O’Reilly Factor) goes on an College Campus to interview students.
Great is the slip, twixt the cuff and the lip.
Not even McGruber can contrive a way out of this.
Works for me.
The surest evidence of American stupidity is their twice-elected Kenyan communist.
