Very sad.

I first saw him in the press room in the basement of city hall in the late 1970's, improbably dressed in some kind of cowboy getup, including the hat, cowboy boots up on a table, a beer in one hand, a smoke in the other and a big, stupid grin on his face. . . . . . and I remembered all that when he was running for Mayor a few years later.

When the Olympics rolled around and Klein was giving his speech, I remember the ABC announcers marvelling that he had been winning elections with 90% of the vote or something like that.

He was a personality and its sad if that unique personality is disappearing.
