While NBC Nightly News has failed to mention Jonathan Gruber's scandalous comments about ObamaCare for eleven days, Comedy Central's fake newsman Jon Stewart devoted eight minutes to the controversy on The Daily Show Tuesday night.  

After playing various clips of Gruber crediting passage of the health care law on the "stupidity of the American voter," Stewart went a step further by playing a 2006 soundbite of then-Senator Barack Obama hailing Gruber as one of the "brightest minds" at the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution.
