Lest we forget in the fall of last year, his guitar was adorned with McCain stickers, and insisted he would win and was what's right for the country. So, um. No.

Well, first of all, he's not really naked so we know he's a filthy liar.

Also, does he stand in Times Square in his underwear year round or disappear during the winter? Inquiring minds want to know.

Some photos I've seen, I wondered if I'd throw him a mercy fuck. Not a bad physique, but the Jesus tattoo is a bit of a deal-breaker. I just wouldn't want to see it, being upside down and fucked in high heels.

Jesus has never been the sexy to me. Nor long hair on men, or bleeding all over the place saying you're the Son of God. Objecting to meat and cheese on the same plate, bleeding all over the carpet from stigmata. All right, -Jesus! Have you heard of antipasti? Christ. Let's have sushi then, okay? God! Not sexy.

People affecting a Midnight Cowboy vibe, some dumb mullet, it might be okay though, purely for carnal reasons- you can always toss them from your hotel room after half an hour, throw them a C-note. Get out, Billy Ray! Not saying that this has ever happened in my career as an adventuress.

(Which is a career very hard to compose a resumè about, I might add.)

C'mon, people, it's not as if New York has done worse than a half-naked man with a guitar as a mayoral candidate... And just look at his tattoo of Jesus! That right there screams "humility".

I don't know if I should congratulate this witless slab of animated meat for his media savvy at flaunting his beef cheeks midtown to the applause of teen tourists from the boonies, or to acknowledge this press showing to the furthering of his career ambitions as proof positive that we are truly living in the last days, people.Thought Experiment: f we are indeed in the end times, perhaps the Naked Cowboy's mayoralty would make for the perfect catapult for the anti-christ?

Does anyone actually give this guy money? For real? Is this a "New York" thing? Because from the outside, it looks like the most idiotic and clownish thing...

I have an idea. How about we hold an auction where people can bid on getting the Naked Cowboy to run for mayor of their town. There's probably a sewing circle from a square state that vacations in Las Vegas and goes to the Thunder Down Under shows and hit it big on the slot machines and will be more than happy to pool their menopausal resources to take this douche off of our hands.
