SNL's skit & Gov. Patterson...

Any discussion about SNL's most recent attempt at poltical humor?

I didn't think it was terribly amusing, but at the same time, you have to be pretty sensitive to take offense to something like that.

It felt like more of a stab about his competency with a little bit of humor at his expense for being blind. SNL made Sarah Palin look stupid as well, but I guess since she's attractive, it's not offensive.

nate,

I never complained about their treatment of Palin, even when they stretched the truth and put words into her mouth that she never said.

However, maybe it's crossing a line to poke fun at blindness...which they obviously did.

Hopefully, Maybe Governor Patterson didn't stay up to watch SNL that night. ;)
