TOPIC: Ed Koch

Created by: Seduction4Two Original Starting post for this thread:
I worked for 2 months for the Koch administration. I volunteered and got a recommendation letter from Koch himself. I always admired Koch and learned much from him. A true leader, a fighter, a highly intelligent man that taught me much. May he rest in peace. ======================= Former Mayor Ed Koch, the combative, acid-tongued politician who rescued the city from near-financial ruin during a three-term City Hall run in which he embodied New York chutzpah for the rest of the world, died Friday. He was 88. Koch died at 2 a.m., spokesman George Arzt said. The funeral will be Monday at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. After leaving City Hall in January 1990, Koch battled assorted health problems and heart disease. The larger-than-life Koch, who breezed through the streets of New York flashing his signature thumbs-up sign, won a national reputation with his feisty style. "How'm I doing?" was his trademark question to constituents, although the answer mattered little to Koch. The mayor always thought he was doing wonderfully. Bald and bombastic, paunchy and pretentious, the city's 105th mayor was quick with a friendly quip and equally fast with a cutting remark for his political enemies. "You punch me, I punch back," Koch once memorably observed. "I do not believe it's good for one's self-respect to be a punching bag." The mayor dismissed his critics as "wackos," waged verbal war with developer Donald Trump ("piggy") and mayoral successor Rudolph Giuliani ("nasty man"), lambasted the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and once reduced the head of the City Council to tears. "I'm not the type to get ulcers," he wrote in "Mayor," his autobiography. "I give them." When President George W. Bush ran for re-election in 2004, Koch, a Democrat, crossed party lines to support him and spoke at the GOP convention. He also endorsed Mayor Michael Bloomberg's re-election efforts at a time when Bloomberg was a Republican. Koch described himself as "a liberal with sanity." He was also an outspoken supporter of Israel, willing to criticize anyone, including President Barack Obama, over decisions Koch thought could indicate any wavering of support for that nation. In a WLIW television program "The Jews of New York," Koch spoke of his attachment to his faith. "Jews have always thought that having someone elevated with his head above the grass was not good for the Jews. I never felt that way," he said. "I believe that you have to stand up."
