One of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch's last interviews before his death on Friday came in Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire.

The most interesting part of the Q&A came when he was asked who was what living person he "most despise[s]."

...

Which living person do you most despise?

Former president Jimmy Carter.

[mombonn]

Concur. RIP, Mayor.

[Lx]

Did he know O?

[albie]

Agreed. I like Koch more every day.

[onyx]

LOL.

Carter is deserving, but so are all demonic-rats.

[SkyDancer]

Hey Jimmeh, last tag. LOL

[Revolting cat!]

I like Koch more every day.

Too late now.

[RS_Rider]

He voted twice for Carters second coming.

[bmwcyle]

I don’t like any liberal, commie, or progressive. Jimmy is just one of Satan’s Army.

[Graybeard58]

Obama and then Carter.

[New Jersey Realist]

Ed was a very wise man. One of the few liberals I had any respect for. RIP.

[MasterGunner01]

If Ed Koch despised Jimmy Carter, I wonder how he felt about Barry Soetoro Obama? Barry is Jimmy on steroids.

[carriage_hill]

Not my most despised, but in the Top 10.

[Mark17]

Obama and then Carter.

Yes, that is more accurate.

[rbg81]

Luckily, Carter didn’t go full retard until he left the White House. If you read about his Presidency, you will find that he really wanted to balance the budget and cut spending. This ticked off many of his fellow Dems.

The person I most despise is Ted Kennedy. Obama is a close second, followed by the likes of Barney Frank, John Kerry, and Chuck Schumer.

[OneWingedShark]

I don’t like any liberal, commie, or progressive. Jimmy is just one of Satan’s Army.

You should see some of the verbal abuse given out to those of us who didn't vote for Romney because [we believe] he is a socialist.

[HomeAtLast]

The person I most despise is Ted Kennedy. Obama is a close second

Kennedy would be my top pick, but for Jeb Bush.

1 Jeb
2 Ted
3 Hussein

(Dis-)Honorable mention: John Roberts, John Kerry

Ed Koch Said He Despised Jimmy Carter More Than Any Other Living Person

No he didn't. I did.

[yldstrk]

yeah that is a pretty good list of despicable people

[Hardastarboard]

Chuck Schumer, first, last and always, followed by Diane Feinstein, Jim Wallis (obscure reference, but if you know who he is you hate him), Mike Malloy, Mark Potok and Morris Dees of the SPLC (tie), Bernie Ward, Janet Reno, Bill Clinton. That's just a starter list. Did I mention Chuck Schumer?

They all share in common a thread of arrogance, complete disregard for reality which includes being willing to lie to advance their agendas, and hatred of America and conservatives (which I consider the same, BTW).

[yarddog]

That is about the same way I feel about Jimmy. Not my most despised but definitely in the running. Now Barry, just may be number one.

[yarddog]

That is a pretty good list except I don’t know who Jim Wallis is, although it seems I remember a Communist with that name, maybe not.

I would ad Chris “tingle up my leg”, Hillary, and Baba Wawa.

[yarddog]

Oh, I forgot Uncle Walter and Dan the other CBS Marxist.

Actually the list could just go on and on.

[EDINVA]

Don’t forget LBJ. His “Great Society” got us moving down this slide.

[hosepipe]

Ed Koch Said He Despised Jimmy Carter More Than Any Other Living Person BUT HES LOVES THE Hildebeast..

Koch may suffering from Stockholm Syndrome..

[Windcatcher]

The swimmer rated a shot of top-shelf scotch the day he kicked over.

[carriage_hill]

What’d they call Carter? A technocrat, or something? I think he used to attend to the minutiae and details, more than most presidents, who handled the big picture and left details to subordinates.

[carriage_hill]

He’s definitely my #1 on most despised/loathed/hated list.

[rbg81]

Sorry, I’m no longer a fan of the Bushes, but I really don’t see how you can put Jeb ahead of Kennedy. And, to top it off, Ted (”The Swimmer”) actually killed someone.

[elkfersupper]

Woodrow Wilson

Franklin Roosevelt

LBJ

BHO

Jimmy Carter

In that order, with numerous others following.

[MinuteGal]

Since Jimmy Carter is perceived by many to be anti-Semitic, maybe the Jewish Ed Koch perceived him the same way.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Good choice.

“Ed Koch Said He Despised Jimmy Carter More Than Any Other Living Person

No he didn’t. I did. “

I see what you did there.

[HomeAtLast]

More precisely, Kennedy left someone to die, whom he could have saved. He dithered, temporized and thought about what was best for him rather than her...for some number of hours.
Jeb did this for some WEEKS.

[Albion Wilde]

I see what you did there.

LOL!

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

..................

In no way do I wish to speak ill of the dead, but I suspect he voted for him. As he did for Obama. On some level, politics trumps morality. A shame, I like Koch.

[Theodore R.]

I’m with you on Jebbie; he will be the first nominee ever to drive me away from the top of the ticket.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Did he know O?

He endorsed him twice.

[Zionist Conspirator]

If Ed Koch despised Jimmy Carter, I wonder how he felt about Barry Soetoro Obama? Barry is Jimmy on steroids.

He endorsed and campaigned for Obama in '08 and '12.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Since Jimmy Carter is perceived by many to be anti-Semitic, maybe the Jewish Ed Koch perceived him the same way.

Obama is perceived by many to be anti-Semitic, yet the Jewish Ed Koch campaigned for him in '08 then suddenly turned on him in '10 and endorsed a Republican Congressional challenger to shake him up. He then immediately declared mission accomplished and remained a faithful Obamabot through the '12 election. Then when Obama picked Hagel for SoD he said he knew Obama would turn on Israel eventually but didn't expect him to do so so soon.

[MasterGunner01]

That is very unfortunate. I’d have thought Koch could have spotted this Bravo Sierra artist. I guess not.

[Terry Mross]

Are you only talking about every liberal communist or progressive politician? Or does that also include the liberal, commie progressive voters.

[Ann Archy]

Even a blind squirrel.....

[Wuli]

Ed Koch was many things (and I did not always agree with his positions), but dishonest or afraid to say what he really thought - no matter who didn’t like it - were not among his weaknesses.
