so what???

now just because this SO CALLED comedy show goes after a democrat. now they are supposed to not be satirical????

I JUST DONT SEE IT>....

AH

BA DUMP DUMP

THANK YA SMITTY

I saw the skit and laughed out loud. Especially when the Pohler was giving her farewell speech and he rose up in front of the camera, interrupting her. I think everyone just needs to learn to laugh a little, even if its at yourself. They made a lot of jokes about New Jersey in that skit too but the National Federation of the Blind doesn't seem to have a problem with that (As a New Yorker I found that hilarious too).

When asked to comment, Gov. Paterson stated: "The way I see it, it was nothing".

BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DONT COPY MY JOKE>.....lol

MSNBC is reporting this every half hour today. I can't wait for their evening news(?) line up to cover it.

ROFLMAO

Paterson says he will have the last laugh when he puts a $404,000,000.00 levy on non-diet soda.

"I can take a joke," Paterson told reporters. But he called the SNL spoof a "third-grade depiction of people and the way they look" that could lead others to believe that "disability goes hand-in-hand with an inability to run a government or business." www.nypost.com

In other words the look and feel of the skit hit way too close to home on Paterson.

The main reason you never want to end up in heaven would be its lack of humor, which is almost always at some politically correct person's expense.

I like SNL, but making fun of a blind person for being blind is stupid and tasteless. His eyes are crossed and he doesn't know how to face the camera? ROFLMAO!!1!

DONT COPY MY JOKE>.....lol

They just recently had a skit of two of them singing a song called, "jizz in my pants," and two years ago the song, "Dick in a box," was sweeping the nation. Much of what SNL does is stupid and tasteless, but sometimes that's really funny.

Clayton Bigsby

Hahahaha

He thinks he's white?

Bwahahahaha

White Power. When he found out he was black he divorced his wife cuz she was a nigger lover. ...

Clayton Bigsby...another classic!

Heads exploding all over Klansville

ALTHOUGH>..as bad as this show has been since the days of murray and chevy..........anything thats actually funny probably wouldnt hurt them...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The National Federation of the Blind says it considers NBC's Saturday Night Live skit making fun of New York Gov. David Paterson an attack on all blind Americans.

This reaction blindsided me.

You didn't see it coming, Alex?

Let me show you my take:
This is interesting, because, the way I see it, the joke was kind of in poor taste. Then again, it's SNL. So, were I blind, I would probably get offended, but would I care so much? Probably not. Political correctness is a complex issue, despite how everyone seems to go at it, because it does have two sides. At certain levels it's acceptable, as the whole Imus affair showed us, but sometimes it can overstep its bounds. I mean, there are words, phrases, and stereotypes that some people honestly find offensive, and for them I'd have to say that we should show some respect for them, and refrain from using those words/phrases/stereotypes. On the other hand, sometimes it can go way to far and become a serious impediment to free speech.

I have no answers for you, get the picture?

(the opening and closing were my attempts at humor)

So, were I blind, I would probably get offended, but would I care so much?

Actually, the braille version is extra offensive.

I always thought Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" to be one of the funniest snl ever:>)

Paterson and his guide dog went to the the store to do some Christmas shopping.
All of a sudden, Paterson picked up his dog by the tail and started to swing it around in a circle.
A sales assistant shouted: Sir, can I help you!
No thanks, Paterson replied. I'm just looking.

arf, arf!

If I were blind, I think I'd try to learn how to see.

snl should revive ted dansons career have him do his black face skit and maybe get bono to sing a little of al jolsons mammy.

Can't laugh at much anymore. I personally miss the 'Frito Bandito' and 'Mamma miat that's a spicy meatball!' Guess we're just too Alan Alda/Phil Donahue 'sensitive' anymore. Thank 'God' you still have Christians and Republicans to mock. :)

Missed the SNL skit and I didn't even know Paterson was blind but comedy means pushing the limits of taste sometimes. That said I can tell you from personal experience that a joke about one's physical infirmity no matter how tasteless or hurtful doesn't hold a candle to the hurt caused by people who think they're doing you a favor by "standing up" for you - if it's that bad that something needs to be said I can hold my own thank you!

It seems that the "otherwise abled" claim is dogma, and the suggestion that there is such a thing as "disability" is now heresy. I wonder what kind of a car the Governor drives.

Whenever you make fun of someone with a REAL disability, you should expect this blowback.

Whatever possessed them to think this would be funny is beyond me.

Let's go after the quadrapedics next.

This is what one of our own DR posters mockingly said to one of our disabled posters who just got out of the hospital after 4 years:

"If I ever had any qualms about installing access ramps at my place of business, that little heart-warming display of tolerance and love removed any doubt.

Americunty is the thiinest skinned bitch to post here. That creampuff can't wait to be offended.
Seriously, fuck off you little twat.

Oh come on....They we just monkeying around.....Lighten up folks

Political correctness is a boil on the butt of humanity. It isn't you're RIGHT not to be offended is it? You can thank the lib "participation trophy" mentality for all of the hand wringing. Tasteless? Probably. Funny anyway? Definitely. We need to relax in this country. The only reason to feign such indignation anyway is usually so some blood-sucking parasitic lawyer can find someone to sue for you. Lighten up.
