Koch still no fan on Giuliani

     Rudy Giuliani isn’t every New Yorker’s favorite son in the race for next year’s Republican presidential nomination.
 Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch is reissuing a book he wrote in 2000: Giuliani: Nasty Man’’ and said in a radio interview today that he thinks voters who support him are making a mistake.
 “He remembers what he wants to remember,’’ he said in an interview on WROW-AM radio here, speaking of the other former mayor. He cited Giuliani’s claims of not remembering some of the details of his relationship with Bernard Kerik. Kerik was Giulinai’s police commissioner who later ran into legal problems.
 Koch’s book was originally published when Giuliani was running against Hillary Clinton for the Senate, but it now has a potentially wider audience. Despite his relatively liberal views on abortion and other social issues as well as his multiple marriages, Giuliani, viewed by many as a hero because of his leadership after 9-11, is leading other GOP presidential contenders in polls.
