I'm fascinated by NY Governor David Paterson.

I'd love to interview him for this blog sometime, but I don't know him, of course. I actually had an instructor in a magazine-writing class that acted as if I should know every crip in America...it was flattering and insulting at the same time.Like I could call Steven Hawking and belt out "Yo, Steve! How's it hanging?' as if there aren't millions of us. As if famous disabled people would get so dazzled by the matching chrome, they wouldn't remember to have their gatekeepers keep me out, even if I am polite and don't say "How's it hanging?"

I think It would be interesting to see what an interviewer with a disability would ask him about. There is some new stuff in this article, related to his role in last week's Democratic Convention.
