| Comic treatment for health plan |
| 2011-02-09 |
| Bam!.....Bam!.....Bambi. Now that he has given up smoking, is there nothing that the Saviour of The World can't do? The MIT economics whiz who crafted President Obama's national health-care overhaul now plans to explain the complex and controversial plan to the masses -- in one long comic book. Because we consider our Jonathan Gruber, a nationally recognized health economist who devised the economic underpinnings of Obamacare (Gruber hates the term), said his three comic-loving kids encouraged him to use the hip format of the graphic novel -- basically an expensive comic published in book form -- to tell the story of the complicated plan to 300 million Americans. So listen up, retards, okay? I'll try to speak slowly... Unlike most comic books, Gruber's won't have a superhero like Batman or Captain America or a villain like the Joker, he said. Duuuh, I don't like it already... "I'm going to use the facts to tell the story," Gruber, 45, told the Pulse yesterday. "I'm the narrator guiding the reader through the law. It'll have lots of pictures and text." Well, duh...will it have, like, duuuuh, pretty colors? Will it come with crayons? Will there be shiny...stuff? I like shiny stuff... |

| #5 The MIT economics whiz who crafted President Obama's national health-care My respect for MIT is about like it is for Harvard--not much. Can we repeal ObamaCare without reading this dip$hit comic book? |

| #3 Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting the results to be different. No wonder Michael Savage says liberalism is a mental disorder. Karl, They've high jacked the term liberal. Liberal means to be accepting of new ideas and thinking. These guys are intellectual fascists and totalitarians....there is a big difference between liberals and lefties. Jefferson was a classic liberal (using the classic definition of liberal not the "new" MSM definition) Hitler and Stalin,et. al. were leftists. Big difference in my mind. James, You might have a point there. |

| #2 > economics whiz Whiz? He came up with extortion funded bureaucratic treatment rationing as the best option??? The option that's a failure everywhere it's tried? The option that inevitably suffers from exponential costs? The option that creates disinterested staff? The option that makes customers into costs, and then minimises them? He's not a wizz, he's a swizz. He's so stupid he needs tenure to stay in the job. |
