THE NEWS IN BRIEFS

The Naked Cowboy's Mayoral Campaign, like his outfit, didn't end up covering a whole lot.

Our three-part series followed the brief political career of the briefs-wearing busker from Times Square.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

“I am entering the race for the office of the Mayor of New York City. Why? Well, right now this city can’t afford wasteful spending. What we really need is smarter spending. Folks come up to me every day and tell me they’ve lost their life-savings, that their small businesses are barely getting by.

[...] It’s time to tighten the belt, but of course that’s just a saying because I don’t even wear a belt. But that’s my point – I don’t need a belt."

– Naked Cowboy, July 22, 2009
