DAVE TURNS A BLIND EYE TO ‘SNL’ JAB

Gov. Paterson was conspicuously mum yesterday about the latest “Saturday Night Live” sketch that mocked his visual impairment and cast him as a Big Apple-centric snob.

Played by Fred Armisen, “SNL’s” Paterson had to read note cards with binoculars and ridiculed his own choice of upstate US Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to fill a vacant US Senate seat.

“It’s like ‘Deliverance’ on snow tires,” the faux Paterson said of upstate.

The real Gov. Paterson and NBC officials had no immediate comment yesterday. “SNL” drew Paterson’s ire in December for a sketch filled with blind jokes.
