Cabbie Consequences in NYC

'Tis the decline of American civilization, the day that you can silence a New York City cabbie.

The Associated Press is reporting that the city's taxi commission is cracking down on drivers who express pro-Bush sentiment. (GOP-HACK $MACK )

"A WORD of advice to New York City taxi drivers: If you support President Bush (news - web sites) in this GOP-hostile town, keep your mouth shut.

"Last week, I introduced you to Etzer Jerome, who was fined $500 and had his hack license suspended for three weeks after he expressed fondness for Bush to a passenger."

The reporter also tells of another driver who was brought up on charges of giving bad customer service because she argued conservative politics with a liberal musician rider.

Just think how nice these pro-Kerry people will be if they win.
