Naked Ambition
Which was the most fevered lunge for self-promotion by a power player?
1) Vice President Dick Cheney, who injected himself into the presidential race with a public endorsement of John McCain Saturday.
2) Gov. David Paterson, who enraged state Senate Republicans by campaigning for their opponents last weekend in Buffalo and on Long Island.
3) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose new interpretation of the First Amendment called for protection of government officials against attacks from reporters.
