He was the face of our city for a very long time. He will be missed.

I'm from Queens. I loved him.

I know it's not nice to speak ill of the dead, but I thought he was an obnoxious loudmouth.

Dat's da way we New Yawkahs ar. If ya don't like it, fuggedaboutit!

I moved to Connecticut thirty years ago.

He was one of the best mayors of NYC.

Sigh.

Prefer not to dance on graves but what he did in 2004 was downright ghastly. Beyond the pale.

History of: early support of Iraq War.
endorsed Giuliani,Al D'Amato, Peter King, George Pataki and in 2004, George Bush
VERY slow to address the growing AIDS epidemic in NYC in the 80s
huge increase in homelessness, poverty, racial disharmony

Not my kind of Democrat.

Any "democrat" who endorsed bush, let alone all those other horrid characters, belongs in the Joe Lieberman pile of shitty democrats.

But I do remember his lambasting of the Superbowl-winning New Youk Giants as a 'foreign' football team, which I thoroughly agreed with.

RIP ED!
