Ed Koch (1924-2013)
One day, a few years before he became mayor, Koch was campaigning
with Robert Morgenthau, who was running for district attorney. “A member
of the Progressive Labor Party stuck a megaphone in Koch’s ear,”
Auletta writes, “and shouted, ‘War criminal! War criminal!’”
Koch replied, “**** off!”
Shocked, the young man asked, “Can I repeat that?”
Koch said, “Sure,” and the young man announced through his megaphone, “Congressman Koch just told me to **** off!”
The audience of several hundred burst into applause.
