Former BSA VP Confirmed as Tech Undersecretary

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-your-scared-on dept.

RedOregon writes "The Senate has confirmed Robert Cresanti as the Commerce Department's new undersecretary for technology. Who's that, you ask? He was the former vice president of public policy at the Business Software Alliance. Does this give anyone else the Heebie Jeebies??"

    The BSA was pretty impotent. They achieved only a tiny bit of what they could have, had they had half a clue. Personally I hope they hire more people from the BSA.

    You're getting the heebie jeebies from an undersecretary?

    That is fine and dandy, but one has to wonder if this goes on all the time.

    Sure one undersecretary isn't that bad, but what if all positions like this were dealt in the same way.

    Boil a frog, anyone?
