If high-energy prop-comic John Hickenlooper is willing to shower in his clothes to tout that he is running a "clean" campaign for Colorado Governor, then just imagine what he ~~will~~ won't be wearing to emphasize his administration's promise to "establish a system of transparency and open government..."

John Hickenlooper has a long history of over-exposure in the media. As a businessman, he proved that his birthday suit was also his power suit. But even for the timid, his nudity will be far less sickening than the alternative...

To win the votes of Coloradans who live outside of Denver, Hickenlooper is going to have to discover his inner hick. Nudity aside, it will be a lot more amusing to watch him in the weeks ahead as he stops wearing his usual Mister Rogers casuals and tours the state in cowboy hats and hunting vests.
