Which was the most fevered lunge for self-promotion?
1. Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) calling on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to begin a criminal investigation of The New York Times for publishing a report on a secret government program?
2. Nassau Legis. David Denenberg (D-Merrick) and Suffolk Legis. Wayne Horsley (D-Babylon) calling on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to hold hearings on Long Island or in Manhattan concerning the proposed acquisition of KeySpan by National Grid of London?
3. Gov. George Pataki coming all the way to Smithtown to sign a bill giving property tax rebate checks before a group of senior citizens to prop up his image? President Pataki anyone?
