Yesterday, Bwog expressed excitement that David Paterson–the black, legally blind, Columbia ’77 grad–will probably be sworn-in as New York state Governor within a day or two.
Which is all well and good, except Radar is reporting he has some (less adulterous) legal troubles of his own. Seems Paterson is currently being sued by a former white employee for discrimination after Paterson, according to the employee, fired him because of his race.
Paterson, of course, is literally colorblind. And pretty much regular blind, too. Bwog’s no legal expert, but this seems like a pretty good defense should this ever go to trial.

@dude you made my day!
@samrt guy I LIKE CAMERAS
@o yes my high school photography teacher would be proud
@Americans are full of shit. Another life ruined.
@I think It’s important for the media not to dodge this issue, it might come back later and burn them
@Umm What about David Paterson? I’m sick and tired of the way people reframe the issue in these comments.
Snap out of it already!
@meee No, seriously, stop. You’re all just rehashing the same old puns now. Come back once you get a flash of inspiration.
@seriously your lack of joie-de-vivre makes me shutter.
but to everyone else, god this is such a kodak moment for bwog!
@This coverage …of spitzer has really saturated print media. While his negative qualities are the focal point, can’t we bring the good things he has done as governor into the foreground? If we don’t it’ll just keep enlarging until it blows-up and the only resolution will be for him to step-down.
@BAH SHUT UP
@... Such a downer! You’re just another one of these negatives who try and kill everyone’s fun
@BAH YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING PEOPLE WHO TALK A LOT.
@meee OK, OK, please, enough puns – we get the picture.
@i think i love the depth of the field of puns that have been made in this post. they all have a very light, metered tone. a few, though, are not developed enough, and some make it seem like the commenter just wanted some exposure.
@From a white governor to a black governor….
That’s good, we needed some more contrast.
@DHI One time I tried to take a photograph but I forgot to put a roll of film in the camera.
@love it every bwog comment should have puns relating to the issue at hand
@I'm sick of all this bullshit…I wish we could just zoom past it.
@i think we’re all paying attention to hot shoe stories about spitzer when we really need to pay attention to the issues that lie in the darkrooms and go unnoticed!
@haha i love you guys. awesome posts
@you know what i am sick and tired of all these new york politicians with their blind ambitions!!!!
@don't worry It’ll all be over in a flash!
@the scary thing is that all of the camera puns are are from different IPs. you guys seriously just need to f-stop.
@this is a WHITE issue is quite MINOR.
There may be one person out there who gets that pun.
@doesn't get it Yeah, I don’t get it.
…I think your white balance might be a little off.
@umm... fyi bwog is singular…
@DHI Nah man that’s grammatically correct, the commenter was referring to the members of Bwog (“oppressive tools”), not to Bwog as a unit.
@bwog blindness is a social construct, who’re you to say this man isn’t a racist just because he ‘can’t’ distinguish visual things?
Bwog are oppressive tools of Lee Bollinger’s AmeriKKKa.
@Naive Columbian There is no racism against white people! I hate white people! Fuck the Core!
@Anonymous Blindness is no defense against racism. Ask any professor here!
@colorblind It actually is the defense that he’s currently using, believe it or not. I read that he does have some visual capacity, however, (most notably, the ability to recognize faces).
@bwog to call your logic specious is to cast logic used by most political hacks with facetime on tv in a bad light.
@omg oh man i love new york politics.
@Hans Spiro It gets better – the employee’s a PHOTOGRAPHER.
@well, yeah Of course he is a photographer: he only sees things in black and white.
@Gonzo I shutter to think what might develop if this lawsuit receives more exposure.
@of all the lame attempts at humor on this site, that was actually the best.
@Alum No surprise there — the subject lens itself to bad puns.
@If only we could focus on the true issues here!
@stop Totally agree – we need to filter out all these negative comments.
@well from my perspective, all this noise is holding us back from developing a resolution.
