Who's That Gruber Goober, and What Does it Mean to You?
While I often admire Neil Cavuto for his honest and insightful analysis of important news stories, I think he misses the most important element of this story. Neil's initial assertion that "No one doubts this MIT professor's brilliance," may strengthen the emotional aspect of his argument, but it also helps to mask the professor's real problem--no one is more convinced of his intelligence than he is.
Not only is Professor Gruber completely convinced that people are incapableof making sound economic decisions on their own, he is totally dedicated to the utterly foolish notion that he is eminently qualified to make good economic decisions for them. He has spent entirely too much time admiring himself in the mirror of intellectual accolades that is all-to-often the most cherished piece of furniture in the mental apartments of those elitists intellectuals who inhabit the ivory halls of our most celebrated universities.
Gruber has simply convinced himself that he is so smart that he should be entitled to make the important decisions for all those stupid Americans out there. Unfortunately for Obama and his Progressive allies, Gruber is a bright and shining example of exactly who they are.
