Has-Been Ed Koch

[SoDesuKa]

Ed Koch, the worn-out, used-up, has-been former Mayor of New York, is raising his pro-Bush profile these days. His face is on a poster on Manhattan streets, soliciting volunteers to help out the Republican convention. The text reads, You don't have to be a Democrat to love New York.

I have no idea what Koch is up to. He's written an anti-Michael Moore piece in the World Tribune:

It is shocking to me that Americans in a time of war, and we literally are at war with Americans being deliberately killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere by Islamic terrorists, will attack their own country, sapping its strength and making its enemies stronger. I am not a supporter of the xenophobic slogan “My country right or wrong.” But I do believe, when seeking to make it right if it is wrong, that none of us should endanger the country, our military personnel or our fellow citizens.

Disagreeing with America’s foreign policy and seeking to change it, responsibly or irresponsibly, is a fundamental right protected by the First Amendment. Shaming those who do it irresponsibly is our only lawful recourse and rightly so.

The movie’s diatribes, sometimes amusing and sometimes manifestly unfair, will not change any views. They will simply cheapen the national debate and reinforce the opinions on both sides.

1. Koch has been a pain in the ass for years

in 1980 he gave Jimmy Carter a hard time in his re-election too.

2. Koch is just a NYC zell.

He has a column in New York Magazine that he writes with Al D'Mato and Mark Green. Koch is suppose to be the democrat ..Al is the republican and Mark Green is the Progressive. But Koch sides with Al the republican and is a bush lover. Hoping he goes down(traitorous face outta the limelight!) when Kerry wins.
