Thereis a certain creative dissonance housein CentralIslip after D'Amato.Sort oflike naminga centerfor the studyof chastity after Bill Clinton. . There'snotelling when the courthouse in CentralIslip might be designated the Sen, Alfonse M. D'Amato courthouse. There could be a wait. Thereis a political fight over naming the courthouse after D'Amato. It is the kind ofspitting match the former senator was prone to and at whichhe excelled. This one pits Rep. Michael Forbes, R N.Y., a former D'Amatostaffer who wants to namethe courthouse for his mentor, against Rep. Rick Lazio, R-N.Y., who is in charge of naming the courthouse because it is in his district. He, too, wants tomake sure he gets credit for getting the money to build the courthouse. NEWSDAY Islip courthouse isn’t scheduled to open until next year. LongIsland'sother federal courthouse, in Uniondale, still doesn’t have a name Lazio leans toward naming the building for Theodore Roosevelt. But Forbes says D'Amatodeservesthe credit, and he and it has been open for 18 years.

With their pragmatic, smailer-is-better government talk, those three politicos didn’t inspire think- Clinton couldn't be trusted, but he talked big, and he lookedenergetic, and, really, what harm could a guy from Hope, Ark., possibly do? Somepeople still feel that way about the president. I hear from themall the time. Some even say that I, having a Spanish surname, don’t have a right to criticize a U.S. president. Republican presidential hopefuls, keeps sinking, dragged down byClinton's impeachment history and MTV-boxer-shorts past. Td rather have a president whose head is up in the stratosphere, taking credit for creating the Internet andfighting greenhouse gases, than one big gasbag who can't control his urges. Apparently, Gore strikes people as a guy who could be a goodfriend, but he’s not“bad boy” enough to be president — at least, that’s what early polls seem to indicate. A May survey conducted by Fox News/Opinion Dynamics of901 registered voters asked peopleif they would rather have Clinton or Gorefor a friend. Fortythree percent chose Gore, and only 22 ing for the new millennium.
