The Dumb, Talking About The Blind

Monkey-boy Governor Andrew Cuomo in his inaugural address praised former Governor David Paterson:


“He became captain of the ship just when the ship was heading into a storm and he warned us about the storm and he brought us through the storm,”

Memo to Cuomo's speech writers: When you want to praise a blind man, perhaps it's a good idea to avoid metaphors that rely on eyesight, the captain of the ship, etc.  You might as well have said, "Patterson was a true visionary, who did not turn a blind -eye to corruption."
