Cummings back for another Tavenner ass-kissing, and chastising Gruber again for making life hard for Democrats.

Not the American people - but Democrats.

Issa ends by kissing Elijah’s butt. You’d think the Dems won the last election! WTF? Maybe it was an “I can’t breathe” moment.

Mrs. Lummis pulled a switch off the tree and took Gruber over her knee.

Where's Adrian Peterson when you REALLY need him?

That’s it? Will they get to ask him questions again?

Great summary.

“Did you build the model to sell Obamacare, or did you build it to predict the economic outcome of it?”

If it’s the former, HE should be charged with fraud.

If it’s the latter, he needs to explain how he could have gotten it so wrong and he should be fired from MIT and sued for the money we paid him. Then the GOP should repeal Obamacare on the basis that it was a fraud.

So either Gruber is a fraud, or Obamacare is a fraud.

In the end, it’s not his arrogant comments that really matter. It’s his complicity in perpetrating fraud on the American people. Once that nut is cracked, it can go all the way up the food chain because we know Gruber did not act independently. He was part of a very sophisticated team with a very sophisticated plan to pull the wool over our eyes.

That’s what conservatives ALWAYS do, they kiss the other guys butt... but it’s never reciprocated.

The Dr. (Desjardens?) almost got Gruber to admit that he’s a genius....He said, “why are you criticizing yourself? Be truthful and take credit for exposing this for what is it? You did a great job getting this passed...so take some credit.”

Man, if he had said that... I think he’d be looked upon as truly being the smartest guy in the room...

Fact is...The guy took a lot of money from the gov’t from people who, without him, would not have passed this POS legislation.

So I guess from here on anyone caught in a lie, can defend their lie as conjecture, expect obama to use this defense, I suppose he could even claim he is not a politician, but was simply trying to make himself seem smarter than he is, I mean if it works for Gruber who is simply a numbers cruncher why would it not work for obama who is simply a community organizer.

I know what I said above is ridiculous, but what I’ve seen today is no less ridiculous, yet seemingly what’s ridicules is what works in gov’t currently.

Issa was laughing at smiling at Cummings at the very beginning.

I hope Chaffetz actually nets a scalp - even just one! - during his chairmanship. Issa is 0 for 32 or so.

That’s the tack Guiliani was taking this morning, maybe he was foreshadowing.

Anybody listening to the CSPAN comments lines? The RAT callers are disgusted and disillusioned.

I’ve never heard that happen before.

I like Chaffetz, hope he doesn’t disappoint us.

The way to shut down the 'Take it up with my counsel' crap is the following: Congressperson: "By telling me to take it up with your attorney, who is sitting here with us today, are you saying that the answer to my question is potentially self-incriminating?" Gruber: CP: "Take it up with my attorney is a contemptible response, sir. If you believe the answer is potentially self incriminating, then declare your intention to refrain from answering as it is your right to do under the 5th amendment from the Constitution. Is it your intent to refuse to answer my question because you wish to do so under the 5th Amendment, or do you refuse because you have contempt for these hearings, which you must admit that the only bipartisan agreement we may have arrived at this Congress is that your remarks require a fulsome public explanation. Which is it sir?"

The Democrats making comments have forgotten to drink their Kool-Aid today.

I’m not being glib! /sarcasm off

Went to visit my democrat grandma and aunt this weekend.. they blurted out they both voted straight R with me not even bringing up politics.

I think the more ‘normal’ rats are waking up to who really runs their party, like we TEA folks did years ago. One can hope, anyway.

Gruber has done major damage to Democrats and Obamacare. That’s what po’d Cummings.

Wonder how MIT feels about Gruber.
