naked cowboy plans to run for mayor of nyc

[Amby 490]

A New York busker who calls himself The Naked Cowboy has launched an ambitious bid to run for mayor.

"No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly," said Robert Burck, who entertains tourists around Times Square.

"And that's the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me."

The long-haired, tattooed Burck said he plans to make an official announcement at his regular haunt, reports Sky News.

Dressed in nothing more than a cowboy hat, boots, and a pair of white underpants emblazoned with the words Naked Cowboy, Burck earns about $1,000 (£600) a day busking.

He aims to run against Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire and Wall Street whiz hoping for a third four-year term.

Mr Bloomberg has already spent millions of dollars on his campaign, including on a blizzard of television commercials.

His only real challenger, the little-known city figure William Thompson, has so far struggled to be heard.

I think this guy is confusing NYC for San Fran. He would win there no questions asked.

I take it he can't count on you for your vote?

BTW slightly off topic, any thoughts on Corzine v Christie? This one has me stumped.

I don't know... he sang a song about how he was going to fix the economy, create new jobs and keep us safe.

Create jobs? Folks in NYC better get their undies ready.
