After her early boom, Jeanine Pirro is having remarkable trouble breaking through to the New York media market. So this afternoon on 11th Avenue, she's holding a press conference to press for a drop in the gas tax. Unremarkable -- except she held that same press conference four times over Labor Day Weekend, without apparently leaving much of an impression. This time, she'll be backed by taxi driver organizer, and fellow Mercury Public Affairs client, Fernando Mateo, who does occasionally make these things interesting. NOTE: This is the fifth, not the fourth. Corrected from an earlier version. NOTE: Pirro's gas-tax push has gotten, in fact, a smattering of local press hits, which pop up on Google News here.
