Number One Threat to America

Not bears, Mr. Colbert. Taxi drivers:

Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, whose recent comments have stirred controversy, says the United States is up against a faceless enemy of terrorists who "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night."

During a fundraiser Wednesday with first lady Laura Bush, the three-term Montana senator talked about terrorism, tax cuts and the money he has brought to his state. Burns is one of the more vulnerable Senate incumbents, facing a tough challenge from Democrat Jon Tester.

How many taxis are there in Montana? There's one service in the entire Big Sky region. Capitol Taxi in Helena (state capital), Billings Area City Cab, and Mining City Taxi in Butte. I think that's pretty much it, though I could be wrong. Of course, Conrad Burns used the image of a taxi driver since he's probably so used to seeing them in his adopted home of Washington, DC. For the next few months, at least.

Maybe we should call all these places and tell them to get rid of their TERRORISTS!!!!
