This is all over the news this week, but just in case you missed it:

He sparked a furor this week after video surfaced of his talking about the “stupidity”? of the American people, among other insults aimed at the voting public. Now Republicans have pounced, inventing a brand-new word: “Grubering.”?

Here’s what you need to know about Gruber and the controversy that’s still swirling.

I think calling him an architect may be disingenious.  This is the summarized origin of ObamaCare/RomneyCare: http://s3.amazonaws.com/thf_media/1990/pdf/bg777.pdf

He made the mistake of being honest and doing it publicly.  Why are you surprised by any of it?

I'm not, but the media sure is!  I get accused of incivility around here because people prefer to be palliated with bullshit over truth.

Hey, I was complimenting you! :)

Personally, I don't mind the mild epithets much as I can tell you're simply using them like some people pepper their speech with swear words.
