NYC's Naked Cowboy to Run for Mayor

Share

(Newser) – Robert Burck, the “Naked Cowboy” who strolls New York’s Times Square, is planning a run for mayor there, WABC-TV reports. The guitar slinger in underpants will challenge Mayor Michael Bloomberg by “bringing transparency to a whole new level.” Burck says he’ll also run on his ideas about taxes, tourism, gay nuptials, national security, and public transportation.

If Sarah Palin can run so can a naked cowboy. I am sure he has more sense than the bimbo from the frozen state. Reply

I honestly think he has more "street cred" than Sarah Palin and a hell of a lot more honest in his approach. I do NOT foresee a large clothing purchase by any political party causing any issues :)

Let's hope not. Hey, if you have something that works for you, use it to your advantage. Could you imagine the mental edge he would have if you had to meet privately with him in his office and he was mostly naked. Vote Naked Guy for a better New York City!
