Seeing straight

Not that it bothers me all that much, but does it strike anyone that blind jokes about David Paterson are more acceptable, or at least more common, than before it came out that he used the power of his office to intimidate a victim of domestic violence, bungled budget negotiations and gave false testimony under oath?

I do see the humor there obviously, but just beneath that is what could be a truly intriguing portrait of what its like to be a blind man in a seeing world. For example, as a man of sight, I have difficulty understanding what Paterson would have wanted with the free World Series tickets that have now become the subject of ethics inquiry and possible criminal charges against the Gov. Doesn’t seem worth it.
