why do people care about this idiot?

Gov. David A. Paterson’s office criticized a skit on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” in which Mr. Paterson, who is legally blind, was portrayed as disoriented and buffoonlike.

The governor’s communications director, Risa B. Heller, said on Sunday that the skit amounted to nothing more than cheap ridicule — a surprisingly strong reaction considering that the governor is well known for making light of his vision problems.

“The governor engages in humor all the time, and he can certainly take a joke,” Ms. Heller said in a statement. “However, this particular ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit unfortunately chose to ridicule people with physical disabilities and imply that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities.

“The governor is sure that ‘Saturday Night Live’ with all of its talent can find a way to be funny without being offensive,” Ms. Heller added.

And I thought he was bad before... I can't wait to hear him cry about not getting an award for those songs!

god that's terrible.

Those performances were pretty bad. The background screen was kinda cool though.

Brooklyn Vegan.. MTV for hipsters.. who gives a shit about Kanye? Can we please stop talking about him?

Ditto that. Please stop posting about Kanye. No one cares about him and he sucks. This was proven once again, live on SNL.

Kanye was pretty bad... I actually like him.

"It was also Amy Poehler's final SNL episode"

Thank God.

shoulda had the autotuner turned on but otherwise good. i like him, the hip-hop Muhammad Ali. He's always taking risks and moving forward, like a real artist.

Fred Armisen is trying to steal my spotlight!

that was a terrible performance. Is he tone deaf?

Ali was a better rapper than Kanye...hell, Ali was a better singer than Kanye...and I'm surprised that Paterson saw the sketch...bwah ha ha

There are Kayne advertising banners all over this site, and you wonder why he gets posted about all the time?

that was so bad i almost broke my macbook air!

95% of posters on this site are haters!

i've been saying this since his first album: what a talentless hack.

I liked it.
Then again I'm a Kanye apologist. But it's leagues better than the Conan performance. His voice sounds awful though.

If Kanye's the hip-hop Ali then I'm guessing this must be his rope-a-dope phase. On the matter of SNL - wow, Kanye West AND House??? Who says this tired and bloated wreck of pseudo-entertainment is well past its overdue date?

I like the part in his career where he tries to sing!

the background screens were awesome!

I was there, it was very nice the night!

Isn't that device supposed to HELP you sing? Oh my Lord, imagine if he didn't have it?

um 2:14, that's kinda the point - he's not using it in the performance and thus sounds like crap.

Homeboy looks like Kurtis Blow on laundry day

I've never been a HUGE Kanye West fan, but I absolutely admire the risks he takes as an artist. He could have lip synched, used an auto tuner, covered his sound with a backing choir, but chose not to use any of these tricks. You must admit that his performance was brave, thoughtful and entertaining. Just the kind of courage this industry needs to move forward. After this performance I immediately downloaded the new cd. Lyrically and sonically it is brilliant. Lastly, I also find it odd that the majority of those who chose to trash his performance posted anonymously. If you are serious about your comments, why hide your identity?

Kanye both produces his tracks and writes his own lyrics.

And he is not half bad. Fuck man.

Kanye is a loser. A rich mega-producer/artist...but no doubt a loser as a human being.

And I liked Gov. Peterson until he recently alleged that referring to Obama as a "Community Organizer" is somehow racist.

In the Heartless clip at the 1:05 point he says "John this is wrong"...the wrong screen images were being shown. Someone is gonna lose their job!

marvin, what the hell are you talking about? giving yourself a first-name on an internet message board doesn't make you any less anonymous than those who use no name at all.

courage doesn't trump talent, and his talent is definitely not singing.

Oh yeah he's a brave, courageous, admirable risk taker because he didn't lip synch. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.

Kanye is brave because he breaks his mac book air responding to truthful comments about how bad he sucks. Thats the only bravery he has.

anonymous, what the hell are you talking about? by being able to type my name and address me, it makes me less anonymous.

at the end of the day most of you are still mooching off mom and dad in brooklyn and kanye is laughing all the way to the bank STFU and stop bitching. this blog has turned into the special olympics; at the end no one wins and your all fucking retarded.

His rap was always mediocre, but he should not start singing, please no.

The n-bomb on BV?

Wow...stay classy, you hip youth.

"The n-bomb on BV?"

gone

Jeneane Garofalo will be at Sound Fix tonight at 9:30 FREE

FYI the Auto-Tune *was* on for the SNL thing (you can hear its digital intervals) but he was just that far off!
