Gruber as a Verb?

That’s right, Mrs. Gruber’s baby boy Jonathan—he’s the smart one, you know—just got himself in the dictionary.

Jonathan Gruber is referred to as the “architect” of Obamacare. His approach to selling the idea to Americans is summed up here in a quote by him:

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass….Americans are too stupid to understand…”

… So now a new word has entered the national lexicon. If you buy a car that turns out to be a piece of junk, you’ve been “grubered”. A “gruberism” is a lie concocted by the left for the purpose of keeping voters in the dark, at least until the next election.

Gruber verb \groo-burr\

: To tell a lie deliberately with the intent of misleading.

: To misinform people based on the belief that they are too stupid to understand the wisdom of your position.

example: To conceal the truth about Obamacare it was necessary to gruber the entire nation.

noun

: A calculated mistruth intended to deceive listeners

example: The explanation given in favor of Obamacare was one huge gruber from one end to the other.

Gruberish noun \groo-burr-esh\

: Any bewildering deluge of falsehoods designed to confound an audience based on the speaker’s awareness that the truth must be concealed by any means necessary.

example: A preposterous mountain of gruberish was put forth intended to hide the fact that the entire nation had been grubered about Obamacare. [read it all right here]

Congratulations Jonathan!

I’ll bet when you were droning out your fustian drivel about the stupidity of the American people, you just knew that someday you would be in the history books.

You no doubt could see yourself curling your pinky at cocktails with the 44th President someday, having a good laugh about how you pulled off the greatest deception of the American public in history.

But now you don’t have to wait for someone like Gibbons to make you a footnote in Barack Obama’s legacy.

You’ve exceeded your wildest dreams!

Now you are the legacy.

And you did it all with your God-given First Amendment right.
