2006 -- THE bitter apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the state attorney general race.
Struggling Democratic candidate Mark Green has had to apologize after his 28-year-old daughter, Jenya, was caught sending angry e-mails to supporters of rival Andrew Cuomo Tuesday.
In missives sent to the Cuomo-loving offices of city Comptroller Bill Thompson, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and Manhattan Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Jenya wrote: "Big Nadler is so totally controlled . . . and therefore unfit to hold office." The "big" comment was seen as a swipe at Nadler's large frame.
Jenya, a lawyer at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo, went on to quote a bit from the New York Times' endorsement of her dad, noting that front-runner Cuomo has the support of most every "establishment Democrat" and has a record "less impressive than he claims."
The missives to Quinn, Thompson and Stringer were similar, although Quinn's mysteriously contained the numbers "666" in the subject line.
"I wasn't surprised," said a source. "She's a hothead."
Another political insider called the episode "embarrassing. Leave it to the Greens. On a day when Mark should have been basking in the glow of a major endorsement - by doing absolutely nothing - they couldn't even get that right. Talk about incompetence!"
All the recipients were mum yesterday except Stringer, who said in a statement: "Ms. Green has called and apologized for her comments, and I have accepted . . . Perhaps it's a signal to Mark that it's time to tone down the volume."
Green told reporters outside City Hall yesterday, "While I understand the passion and enthusiasm of a daughter for her father, we're proud that Jenya immediately realized her mistake in judgment." He added that Jenya was calling all the officials and making a round of apologies.
Jenya, who donated to Cuomo's campaign in 2002 when he ran for governor, declined comment when contacted by The Post.
