Politics Daily — ... You gotta love the New York Post. (You don't really.) They're writing an article about people who were offended by a Saturday Night Live sketch involving legally blind New York Governor David Paterson, and they go with that headline. Oh, but there's more. Here's their lede: ...

Caroline Kennedy's inexperience making it pretty hard for Dems who bashed Palin to support her. Surprise: Time mag bureau chief to become Biden's communications director. African-Americans do play at Katon Dawson's country club. Gov. David Paterson upset about "SNL's" blind jokes. Blind jokes? I had no idea that kind of thing was even close to allowed anymore. ...
