Some cab drivers terrorize their passengers with bad driving, but what evidence does Conrad Burns have to support his latest whacky accusation?

At the campaign event with [Laura] Bush, Burns talked about the war on terrorism, saying a "faceless enemy" of terrorists "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night."

Which cabbies are these, pray tell?

    He forgot to mention that they also hide in your closet and under your bed. Boy, these guys are really playing to their base lately.

    Burns only worries because he never tips his cabbie.

    some terrorists are from the Middle East. some people from the Middle East drive taxis.. therefore all taxi drivers are terrorists. ergo quid summa pro bono.

    I'm more worried about the guys who kill in the day time and then drive taxis at night, when they should be getting a good night's sleep. Wouldn't that make their driving even more dangerous?

    What next, people shooting cabbies because they look suspicious?

    Who are these cabbies who "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night?" Comics, of course. Arab comics on the way up.
