Gov. David Paterson (D) popped up on Saturday Night Live this weekend to confront Fred Armisen, who’s been playing a version of the New York Governor. Paterson chided Armisen for making fun of his blindness: “You have poked so much fun at me for being blind that I forgot I was black!”

Paterson added that “working in Albany is a lot like watching Saturday Night Live: There’s a lot of characters, it’s funny for ten minutes, and then you just want it to go away.”
