Mornin, tank! Good question. My ‘free’ wi-fi isn’t strong enough to stream cspan so I’m hanging on everyone’s words :)
Issa just stated a subpoena is coming.
Trey Gowdy SCHOOLS Gruber on his ‘stupid’ comments – “Can you see why some think your apology is disingenuous?”
Rep. Trey Gowdy read Jonathan Gruber back several of his comments this morning and asked him what he meant by each of them. But for every single one of them Gruber claimed he was just being “glib” and trying to make himself look smarter in front of other people because he’s really that arrogant and cares that much about what people think of him.
At one point Gowdy asked Gruber “Can you see why some think your apology is disingenuous?”
Clearly Gruber was playing the ‘needy narcissist’ and Gowdy wasn’t going to let him get away with it.
Watch:
Morning to you too!
From this thread, it sounds like the hearing is a lot of fun. But I’m not sure I like the way it’s going.
IMHO they should be peppering him with very technical, very specific questions about the inner workings of Obamacare. The subsidies is one area, another is his comment about cost savings not being a factor: specifically whether they believed the fantasy that with a growing shortage of doctors they thought they could drastically increase demand while cutting costs.
Basically back the guy into a corner where he disproves the laws of supply and demand (thus earning a Nobel Prize), or admits that they were lying. IOW make him choose between admiting being incompetent or being a liar.
With Taverner sitting right there next to him.
