A “Saturday Night Live” skit portraying New York’s blind governor as a bumbling leader didn’t get a laugh from Gov. David Paterson.
Paterson’s office said the skit ridiculed people with physical disabilities and implied that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities.
“The governor is sure that ‘Saturday Night Live,’ with all of its talent, can find a way to be funny without being offensive,” Paterson spokesman Errol Cockfield said.
NBC declined to comment Monday.
