On MSNBC Tuesday, Gruber told Ronan Farrow that he spoke inappropriately when he made the comments, which surfaced this week in an online video.
The comments in the video were made at an academic conference, Gruber said. I was speaking off the cuff and I basically spoke inappropriately and I regret having made those comments.

Too late. When a democrat tells the truth there are no take backs.
Stupidity of the voters.

So his excuse is he spoke off the cuff and it was at an academic conference. Lieberals can be so much like Gazan leaders... speak their minds in arabic to Gazans; speak lies to Western media.

His remarks were merely “revealing” of the leftist contempt for those that they’d rule over.

He made similar comments about Romneycare a few years ago. When it was revealed that Massachusetts had the highest healthcare costs in the country after the implementation of Romneycare, Gruber admitted that the money saving aspect was a ruse. The goal was to insure everyone never about controlling costs.
To: SteveH
innappropriate, but accurate.

“Inappropriate?!!!!”
You mean like a forced belch or fart in public? How about “deceitful,” “arrogant,” and “harmful” all at once, you deceitful, arrogant, harmful sonofab*tch.

This is the guy who said only state exchanges get subsidies and then said that he is not what he meant.
How many passes does he get? I know, dumb question.

The stupidity remark is a diversion. The fact that he admitted to create a plan that would mislead the CBO with regards to costs is criminal and fraudulent. The admission that there was an intent to avoid transparency is further evidence of malicious intent.
This dude wants people to be diverted by the insult; no the people are not stupid and they will focus on the fraud.
If I were this guy, I would be very nervous.

I wish someone would post this whole story on the Dummy Underground just so we could watch heads explode before they pulled it.
I would, but I'm restricted from that site.
