A New York street performer who calls himself The Naked Cowboy and entertains crowds of tourists in his underwear in Times Square year round, launched a bid to run for mayor yesterday.
"No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly, and that's the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me," said Robert Burck, announcing his bid to run against Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Dressed in nothing but a cowboy hat, boots, and a pair of white underpants emblazoned with the words Naked Cowboy, Burck earns about $1,000 (Rs 48,000) a day with his busking.
