Former Mayor of New York Ed Koch died this morning of congestive heart failure at the age of 88. Mayor Koch is best known as the mayor who pulled New York City out of financial disaster and rampant crime in the late 1970s and 1980s. His most famous quote was: "How am I doing?" He first said this when he was a New York congressman -- and he was taken aback at how effective that question was at drawing people into real engagement with him. Everyone loves to tell a politician "how they're doing" -- whether it's good news or bad. Ed Koch had a sharp, witty tongue. You can learn a lot about the kind of mayor and person he was from his words. Here are 13 of his most memorable quotes. Image may be NSFW.
