Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch said Tuesday that a speech last week by former vice president Al Gore accusing President Bush of "betraying" America left him "disgusted."

"I happened to have seen [the speech] on television," Koch told radio host Sean Hannity during a broadcast from Palisades, N.J., where Hannity was promoting his just-released book, "Deliver Us From Evil."

"I was disgusted with Al Gore," Koch told Hannity.

"I supported Al Gore in the last election," he explained, before adding that now "I would never vote for him for anything, including dog catcher."

Gotham's one-time top Democrat announced last year that he intended to support President Bush, primarily because he approves of the way Bush has handled the war on terrorism.

His support for Bush prompted Hannity to ask if Koch would consider addressing the GOP's New York City convention this September.

Koch said he'd be happy to address the convention, but only if he was allowed to point out his differences with Bush on domestic issues.

The ex-mayor's comments about Gore were greeted with wild applause by Hannity's live audience.

I'm disgusted with Ed Koch.

Does he still call himself a democrat?
Al Gore has every right to his opinion..too too bad Koch has a problem with someone expressing their opinion. I'm sure Hannity's studio audience was elated, what a surprise.

And this was from NewsMax....they always have it in for Gore.

Yes, Ed Koch, the worst Mayor NYC ever had. No biggie coming from him. Too bad if he can't take the truth.

Hey we finally agree on something. Koch is total slime. He let the city fall apart for 12 years and didn't nothing to stop it.

And Koch saying that probably earned his place in george's cabinet next time he steals an election.

Al Gore is merely telling the truth. And see what it gets him. Just like with Dean. The dems McAuliffe and the clintonites, literally ran dean out of town on a rail, so to speak. Too late, we all bemoaned the fact that Dean said two things that he should've kept to himself until after the nomination: He said he wanted to break up the corporation owned media monopoly, he said he wanted to end the big-money lobbyist in DC. I think you can put two and two together about what happened to him for being honestly truthful about his aims and desires.

Sad. Sad state of affairs in our country. We have to fight to take back our country.!

Al Gore...We Need You!
