Attorney General George Chanos may have thought he was choosing sides in a legal dispute. But after being pummeled by Democrats, and an incendiary set-to last week on "Face to Face" with Assembly Majority Leader Barbara Buckley, the AG now is finding he has created what may become the issue in his campaign. Whether he was right to scuttle the drug importation law, he is finding the political fallout quite harsh. And it will continue this week as the state Pharmacy Board meets on the issue. Already, one liberal group is harnessing union firepower to attack Chanos today for making poor old folks choose between food and drugs. Welcome to politics, Mr. Attorney General.
