Elijah Cummings Savages Gruber: ‘Absolutely Stupid,’ ‘Incredibly Disrespectful’
National Review Online ^ | 9 Dec 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 12/09/2014 8:47:40 AM PST by W.

Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings tore into MIT professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber on Tuesday for his remarks on American voters and the passage of the Affordable Care Act.

The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee made GOP chairman Darrell Issa’s opening statement sound tame by comparison.

“As far as I can tell, we are here today to beat up on Jonathan Gruber for stupid — I mean absolutely stupid — comments he made over the last few years,” he began, staring angrily at the hapless professor.

Remember folks, YOUR universities have taken Gruber and fellow shallow dorks into their clutches and called them “professors”.

A more thorough bastardization of a previously respected title is not known in the western world.

Standards? They don’t need no stinkin’ standards.

Cummings is mad because he FINALLY figured out that the “stupid” people the legislation was designed to fool ... was HIM and the other Democrats! (remember not a SINGLE republican fell for this scam)

But the BEST part is... he’s too STILL too stupid to realize what a piece of crap Obamacare is!

ROFL!

We need to just start calling democrats .. Grubers.. or Goobers for short!

Too stupid to realize how stupid they are!

When an Elijah Cummings calls you stupid, you know you have some serious soul searching to do, LOL.

What a Kabuki putz. (Both of them)

The pitiful Cummings’ glowing testimonials to Mitt Romney, champion of Herr Gruber, in his opening statements should have finished any tiny boomlet of enthusiasm for running this loser again in 2016.

By the way, Issa is cold potatoes compared to Trey Gowdy. Gowdy should chair EVERY televised interrogation of Democrat malefactors.

Simply trying to keep his credibility. Cummings and Gruber are on the same team, but Gruber got caught saying what they all think.

Under the bus he goes.

All hat, no cattle with Cummings and his ilk. He could not care less about the actual damage done through Gruber’s deceptions.

EC’s just mad because every leftist knows that whenever the truth is told about their agenda, goals, or beliefs,

they are rejected by the people.

Until they can get that pesky accountability to the voters thing behind them.
