Yup. I know what was really going on beyond the Ed Koch endorsements and speeches. And it was not just because he voted for a bad bill but the realization that if Weprin were to win and go around with a yarmulke, it would be such a major embarrassment for the Jewish community. Even worse than Weiner, who never considered himself to be religious.
