Despicable NY Post states that David Paterson's blindness makes him an incompetent Governor

[SuperTrouper]

...his administration is in deep trouble, and the consensus in Albany is that the problem is something approaching chaos in the executive chamber. Today, the New York Post — which had been a Paterson ally — says publicly something that's often said privately: that the governor's blindness is a disability that makes it difficult for him to do his job.

Paterson's blindness severely constricts his ability to acquire basic information.

His administration is adrift; he is inconsistent, imprecise and often contradictory in his public statements.

To put it bluntly, the governor needs competent help.

1. They are going off the deep end.

[MadBadger]

5. Going is the wrong word considering they've been off the deep end for years.

2. Interesting

george bush was a total fuckup and a drug addicted deserting moron, and needed competent help for eight years. But he wasn't blind.

6. Well, I wouldn't go THAT far!

But he wasn't blind.....He wasn't LEGALLY blind, maybe, but the term "blind drunk" comes to mind...And he was blind to most of the American public opinion, wouldn't you say? As well as to the needs of anyone who didn't have a 7 figure income.

14. I cede

to your superior rational thought My Friend. He was totally blind to right and wrong.

3. Has the NY Post ever been considered more than a tabloid rag?

Maybe they used to have better days, but nowadays one could easily mistake the Post for any number of tabloid trash papers.

4. They are the top-selling NYC paper...says a lot about the Big Apple, right?

[NYCGirl]

7. No, it's actually third in a market with 3 papers. And it's been bleeding money

for years.

11. Thank goodness ..the postrag is

3rd. I remember a few years ago when we thought they were going under but they're still here like a giant cockroach.

8. Can't play nice with these people. Nope. nt

[Jennicut]

9. Paterson is incompetent but its not because of his blindness

Duh.

[goclark]

13. The Post is sinking to new lows and that is hard to do

His sight should not have been even mentioned.

GW and his thugs had "perfect" sight and could not" see" anything coming but the money they stole and the lives they destroyed.

[Jennicut]

15. Exactly. It has nothing to do with a disability.
