He was 88 I always liked Ed Koch; he fit as Mayor of NYC in a way that a lot of his predecessors and successors (particularly that idiot running the city into the ground now) never could manage. And he had a good time doing it, too.
Godspeed, Hizzoner. Take a couple of days before you start planning your primary challenge to St. Peter, all right?
He will always be Mayor Koch to me. RIP Ed. Say hi to Andrew Breitbart. I am sure those two will argue all the time and get along famously.
As a native New Yorker, I like the way you said he “fit” as Mayor of NYC. It’s true.
The current character in that job belongs on a utopian island along with his unbalanced commune members.
