New York Governor Paterson is not happy about how a SNL skit made fun of his blindness:
The usually self-deprecating Paterson called the spoof “a third-grade depiction.” That’s about how old Henry Williams was when he learned not to take teasing personally.
“I went to public school in New York City,” Williams explained, as he leaned on his white cane outside Vision Services for the Blind on W. 23rd St. “So I learned early not to let it bother me.”
“The governor needs thicker skin if he’s gonna be working in politics,” riffed Feliciano Rios, 34, who has been blind seven years. “Comedians just need material. They need to eat, too!”
A lot has changed since FDR felt compelled to hide his disability while in office – taking underground tunnels from Grand Central to the Waldorf-Astoria so no one would see his wheelchair.
When a newly paralyzed Christopher Reeve made his first appearance onstage after his accident, the audience was heartbroken.
Best friend Robin Williams released laughs like a bag of doves as he wheeled him out. “He’s on a roll!” Williams quipped. Even Reeve chuckled.
Is anything off-limits anymore?
Look on the bright side Governor, or rather, have someone look on the bright side for you; there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Bossipers, this skit is kind of funny, but who thinks it went too far?
