SNL had a skit on Saturday that made fun of the blind Governor of New York Gov. David Paterson.
It showed him disoriented at times and had him holding a chart upside down.  Gov. Paterson and his supporters are being critical of the skit.  Here is the link:

I watched the video and I thought it was funny.   
It didn't appear to be as harsh as some of the other skits I have seen on SNL.

Do you think it is inappropriate to make fun of Gov. Paterson being blind?

Its too easy to go after someone's disabilities like that.  Apparently they couldn't find anything else to make fun of him on.  I think he is doing a fair job, at least he's honest that he's not perfect.

SNL makes fun of everyone - that's pretty much the entire basis of the show. I think Patterson is being a poor sport.

I think he should ignore it, because it`s true, they take shots at everybody.
Laugh with them or ignore them, that`s probably his best bet.

18 percent sales tax on soft drinks, called an “obesity tax,” eliminating the sales-tax exemption on clothing and footwear costing less than $110, imposing a sales tax on cable and satellite radio and on music, movie and game downloads through services like iTunes.


UMMM, I already pay tax on cable and satellite radio!!
