Yes - that was what was interesting. Patterson came down pretty hard on them for it, and not only did they not apologize, they did it again. I don't share your "unfunny crap" evaluation (though unfunny crap on SNL is hardly be news, and if the NY Governor wanted to give a speech about every unfunny segment on SNL he will have to schedule several hours every week ) but I didn't think it was particularly funny. OTOH, I didn't think it was over the line to make fun of a blind guy (particularly a blind governor of the biggest state in the US), and I did not like that governor trying to influence what SNL did. I did like Martin's banjo set (I wish they had just used it as the second musical number, since that thing they used instead gave me cavities). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
