Jonathan Gruber, Obamacare architect, MIT professor, just some adviser and an expert on the stupidity of his lesser fellow citizens, went through an awkward, apologetic and mostly unrevealing hearing before the House Oversight Committee Tuesday.
Described as "chastened" and "cautious" by Bloomberg's Dave Weigel, Gruber transformed from confident health care wonk in those old videos to unsure, stumbling milquetoast who repeatedly called his infamous words "glib" and generally couldn't recall, remember or recite facts and figures on Obamacare and his rather prominent role in it.
