Naked Cowboy Runs Against Mayor Mike

Let’s get it right out in the open. Me and Mayor Mike—he’s cool as shit and you can call him that too—are good friends. He’s my mofo.

I blogged about how I met him in the post Banned In the UK!!! I’ll reprint the segment here:

 . . . the only politician that I really like is NYC Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, and that’s just because we’re good friends. That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to tell you about the time I went to dinner with him.

Remember my friend from high school who I went to see swim-like-a-nut in frigid Coney Island on New Year’s Day? You do, good. Well, last year he invited me to dinner to meet the Mayor. We were in a big room with lots of other mofos and my table was right next to the Mayor’s.

Just before dinner Mike comes up to me, probably thought I was a big shot because I looked so good in a suit. He shook my hand and introduced himself. I told him he was the best Mayor ever, and that he should read comics on the radio just like Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia used to do, and that would make everyone love him. He laughed, and because he was such a nice guy, he went around and shook the hands of every other mofo in the room. What a guy!

Mikey’s one quirk is that he puts salt on his salad, and lots of it. I was staring right at him and it was salt, not pepper, I’m pretty sure . . .

(Mayor Mike wanted to save legendary music club CBGB’s)

So now that you know me and Mikey B are best buds, I can react to the news that the Naked Cowboy is running for Mayor. It’s just a publicity stunt. A damn good one, too. It’s been in all the papers, and in the news on TV and radio. Good work Naked Cowboy!!!

Otherwise, his announcement made me aware that I doubt most New Yorkers could name a single opponent of the Mayor’s. Now at least we can say he’s running against the naked guy in the cowboy hat.

In your city, I bet politics is probably a mess. It’s the same way here, but Mike’s a standup guy. He’s good with numbers and negotiations. Most of us trust him. He’s not perfect, but politically speaking NYC couldn’t do better right now.

It’s interesting to note that he got off to a very rocky start in his first term. He had all these new cigarette laws, and a bunch of other problems. I can remember thinking he’s a “one termer” for sure. But now he would even beat mayorial legend, Rudy Giuliani.

I just want to add that me and my lady friend along with the pizza and Chinese delivery guys endorse Mikey B for Mayor.
