NEW YORK (AP) — The Naked Cowboy wants to be the city's mayor, promising transparency in politics — while running almost buck naked.

"I know how to do more with less," said entertainer Robert Burck, clad as usual in a pair of white briefs, boots and a cowboy hat, as he announced his bid Wednesday in Times Square.

On most days, the 38-year-old ordained minister collects tourists' tips while posing for photos with "Naked Cowboy" emblazoned across his underwear, cracking jokes and making up funny songs on the guitar strapped across his bare chest.

He's running as a write-in candidate against Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a buttoned-down billionaire vying for his third term.

The Naked Cowboy insists he doesn't need clothes to campaign:

Besides, he said, "Being naked is a whole lot more than having no clothes on: It's about transparencyin politics, it's about telling the naked truth."

He also wants to build a Times Square chapel, marrying both straight and gay couples there in a "billion-dollar wedding business that will rival Las Vegas."
