Did Bill Clinton really manage to bring up Viagra at the funeral of legendary New York City Mayor Ed Koch? Why are we surprised, again?

So BJ Clinton talked about Viagra at Ed Koch's Memorial… Is there ever a moment BJ is not thinking about little willy?

In Clinton’s defense, the funeral was not an entirely joyless affair, with the casket being carried to the tune of “New York, New York.”
Mayor Ed Koch's casket was carried out by uniformed police while "New York, New York" played. Now that's awesome. RIP.

Koch: not a perfect guy, but I still teared up when I heard he chose to be buried near a subway stop, while "New York, New York" played.

And the organ plays "New York, New York" as Ed Koch's casket is carried from Temple Emanu-El — to a standing ovation he would've loved.

Viagra references aside, the ceremony was a solemn event which drew New York’s current and former mayors and governors as well as a former president (no Hillary, though).

On the cover of the program was Koch’s quote, “Public service, when done honorably and it’s done well, is the noblest of professions.”
