I agree and it made me think about what would induce him to do this obviously foolish thing.
Arrogance and pride are the only things that comes to mind
Gruber is proud of what he has accomplished. He wants his peers to be amazed at the con job he has pulled on the voting public. The stupid people in flyover country have been duped by the MIT scholar in to surrendering their liberty and their treasure for a lie.
Gruber cant help himself. He cant help but brag those he thinks are like minded. He feels himself superior to those he believes not gifted enough to see the necessity of socialized medicine if not socialism itself.
Its simpler than that. The end ALWAYS justifies the means. He thinks he did a good thing for America by getting Obamacare passed..
It is the position of all libs.
