Cynthia Lummis spoke for the people today who are being harmed by Obamacare. What the video below does not show is the reaction by those in the hearing.

Marilyn Tavenner wanted to give condolences to her and Issa would not allow it which freepers thought was great because Tavenner did not deserve the right to give condolences based on her testimony.

Two followups Gowdy could have used that I wish I had heard:

1) After he established that Gruber "didn't mean it", start using the phrases (concerning the Gruber videos) "that you didn't even believe yourself" and "that you just said that you thought false" until Gruber corrects. A correction would be a contradiction of the testimony of a few minutes ago that he could have been mercilessly pinned down on.

2) "So your defense is that in the sophisticated academic circles you work in, instead of actually holding the American people in contempt and admitting it, you fell victim to the human need to be seen as nuanced, sophisticated, and fluent in the complex world of policy formulation at the academic and top governmental levels?"

"Yes."

Holds up Gruber health care comic book. "Do you recognize this book?"

This could be used to establish:

The great effort he put into the working assumption that the American people are idiots. Go through the book highlights. "Do you know of any other comic books on major policy issues?"
His actual disregard for appearing sophisticated, establishing that that excuse is a lie. "Are there any other MIT professors in policy fields who have authored comic books?" "Did you put this on your CV?"
Then he has multiple consistent pieces of evidence that he can publicly weigh to decide between the assertion that "I didn't mean it" and the assertion that "You meant it and fraudulently based policy on it".
