Naked Cowboy to Run for Mayor of New York

"Naked cowboy for Mayor of NYC," is his campaign song.

Commonly known as the naked cowboy, Robert John Burck strummed his guitar and sang his jingle as he launched himself as a contender for Mayor of New York City in Times Square, today. With his candidacy now official, he vowed to promote transparency in government and show people how to do more with less, if he should be elected to the City Council.

The naked man wearing a hat, a undie, a chain with a huge cross around his neck, boots and his guitar is sure to add some excitement to the upcoming election. He said his decision to run for Mayor will not prompt him to buy a new suit and outfit. "Not on the city's time," he stressed.
