Gruber the Goober: Please Don’t Hold Me To What I Put in My Own Book

12.09.2014 | Matt Fox |

For someone who became famous for calling Americans stupid, Jonathan Gruber is pretty darned stupid himself.

The Obamacare architect was on the hot seat today, where plenty of memorable face-plantable moments occurred. But this brief exchange truly encapsulated the idiocy of The Goober. House Committee Chairman Darrell Issa asked the architect about a Washington Post quote that was quite flattering about Gruber — so flattering, in fact, that Gruber reprinted the quote in his own book.

But does Jonathan Gruber today stand by the quote he was once so proud of?

Take a look at the exchange in the video clip above, and as always, try to contain your laughter.
