I don't mind the gaffes--Senator Biden misspeaks, Palin is clueless on foreign policy, hey, nobody's perfect, right? These are just the veeps, after all.

But when the technologically impaired senate judiciary committee, of which Biden is a member, votes to create a publicly funded police force with gestapo-like powers of search-and-seizure with the sole mission of safeguarding corporate intellectual property profits, it really undermines Obama's position as a pro-technology candidate. *sighs* Maybe it's a third-party candidate year?
