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.”

I remember the time I tried to stuff all that toothpaste back into the tube. It didn’t work. What a mess.

Getting a little taste of the maelstrom that Mitt Romney encountered for implying that just 47% of them were stupid.

“I regret having been recorded saying what I really think.”

[Lazamataz]

Note he didn't say his scheme for passing Obamacare was wrong.

The treachery and deceit still stands.

He only 'took back' the part where he called the American voter stupid.

There really are RICO aspects of what this guy was up to. Conspiracy, fraud, perjury, etc...

“Inappropriate” doesn’t even come close to describing his comments or, worse, his actions. What a seditious, low crawling weasel. And he wasn’t nuanced in the slightest; it was the most audacious kind of boasting from an arrogant elitist authoritarian.

Most were on the other side of the street. It was at the corner of West Ave and West Ganson street in Jackson Michigan. Its a busy corner with little room so the crowd was spread over 4 points.

The pro Obamacare crowd were bussed in from Muskegon, Kalamazoo, and Detroit if I recall correctly.



You might notice that the anti Obamacare signs were all homemade.

Everyone who wants to see macGruber appear as a guest on the Mark Levin Show, raise your hand.

Hey Gruber, "nuanced?".. "walk it up your a$$."

[ExTxMarine]

What he really wants to say about this, is that he is very sorry that he got caught being truly honest about Obamacare!!

[definitelynotaliberal]

I notice that he makes no apology for the ugliness of his thoughts, only for voicing them.

[pallis]

“Inappropriate,” but the way he thinks, and nothing is going to pry his elitism from his cold, leftist brain.

[SES1066]

I suppose he was also nuanced when he failed to reveal to the NY Times and other media that he was being PAID by the Obama Administration ($400k) for work and publicizing the PPACA. Gee, Ethics is so hard!

‘IMHO this is going to go right to the attention of the USSC for the king v burell writ...’

I think so too. The smart thing would be for people like Ronan Farrow to just leave it alone. Hope it stays only on ‘right wing’ outlets & dies down. But to give it air time on liberal outlets only keeps the narrative alive. As they say in public relations, you can’t put out a fire with gasoline. The more the MSM tries to soft soap it, the worse it gets for them. No way the SC can simply ignore it. Not after all this.

lol

Well, the pubbies offered up McLame, and then helped the Left trash Palin.

Then, there were the hardcore left, and finally those that were so sick of the race card, they "stupidly" thought a Chicago machine pol was going rip up that card.

[hal ogen]

I bet Stalin and Mao both found reporting on their murdering 100s of millions of their people “inappropriate”.
