The Naked Cowboy is running for Mayor of New York!

[csziggy]

David Schuster and Tamron Hall just interviewed him on MSNBC. He is more informed and coherent than most politicians. Has a political science degree and defines himself as "socially progressive but fiscally conservative."

No link for that interview since the interview just got over. But here is an article:

1. ok.

[spanone]

2. i would have voted for him over giuliani

[joeybee12]

3. I'll vote for him over Bloomberg...

...I'll vote for you over Bloomberg...I hate turn-coat Democrats.

[Renew Deal]

6. Bloomberg probably voted for Obama. The Cowboy didn't

[joeybee12]

9. Bloomberg is still an ass...

...he tows the repuke party line...I don't care if he is more progressive...I hate him.

[Walk away]

11. in what way does he tow the republican line?

Are you a New Yorker? How has Bloomberg's policies affected you adversely?

I am curious.

[closeupready]

14. Quality of life has declined precipitously. Crowded neighborhoods,

spottier mass transit, shittier schools. He is a disaster.

[Renew Deal]

17. You're wrong about the shittier schools

And the rest is normal in NY.

[closeupready]

21. The rest is worse than it was before he took office.

Unchecked development has DESTROYED the quality of life in many of the neigborhoods. He is NOT getting my vote.

[Smarmie Doofus]

23. He's NOT wrong.

The schools are worse than ever.

24. Bloomberg contributed 600 grand to the NYS republican campaign committee.

To keep the state senate in republican hands.

How much did the cowboy contribute?

[closeupready]

13. Technically, Bloomberg should be disqualified from running. There are supposed to be term limits.

But he overrode them because he felt like it, even though this was a voter-approved term limit law.

[salguine]

20. Rules aren't for rich people! You don't know that by now?

[closeupready]

22. LOL

I just forgot! :D

[zbdent]

16. is that saying much?

sounds like the kind of guy who would vote NO on nearly every health care initiative Obama's putting out right now ...

Not that that would be in his voting powers ...

[imdjh]

4. according to Wiki he supported John McCain nt

[Renew Deal]

5. He's a RW moran that supported McCain

[BurtWorm]

7. I'd like to see his

birth certificate.

:patriot:

[csziggy]

10. I think Tamron was embarrassed to see as much as she did during the interview

I got the feeling that someone set it up for Tamron to do the interview and she made Schuster stand there with her. And yes, they all stood while the cameras took shots from all angles.

I've got to say at least the guy is buff, unlike the Tallahassee Bikini Bicyclist. http://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/article1019825.ece

[Walk away]

8. I just saw him this morning in Secaucus. He's a wingnut.

I believe he lives down the block from one of my clients (or his family does). He was out in his tighty whities as usual. It occurred to me that he stays naked 24/7. That's a lesson in branding!

[Touchdown]

12. Check out that lady taking a pic of his ass.

:rofl: PERV!

[KamaAina]

15. I was on this days ago

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8939675&mesg_id=8939675

complete with snide "stimulus plan" remark.

[csziggy]

18. Dang - I should have searched - even though half the time search doesn't find previous threads

Thanks for linking to your thread!

[Deja Q]

19. Wow. I hope he wiped himself; people are staring and taking photographs of it...

Of course, wiping one's nether regions with the flag... doesn't that violate a law or something? About having it soiled...?

:shrug:

[dysfunctional press]

25. but he's never really naked...btw- isn't that flag desecration?

does anyone besides him really wear tidy whities anymore?
