Springtime Shenanigans It ain't funny, Magee! – by jo holzer (Windy Citizen). "Comedians in New York are nastily targeting Governor Paterson's blindness (Happily, his racial status has not been similarly commented upon.). In the New York Times on Friday, February 6, Clyde Haberman in his NYC column ('Equal Opportunity to be the Target of Low Blows and Tasteless Jokes') took exception to the 'comedy writers with frat-boy sensibilities,' saying 'the level of humor might fairly be described as sophomoric were that not an insult to sophomores.' The writer also quoted Marcie Roth, executive director of the National Coalition for Disability Rights, as saying skits on Saturday Night Live reflected a 'ridiculous, ongoing, permissible bigotry'."
