Senator Burns wraps up a conference call with Montana press about his recent remarks to firefighters in the Billings airport. From Roll Call: "During the call, a Department of Agriculture official based in Montana rushed to Burns' rescue and took over answering questions about firefighting efforts in Montana. When the official, Undersecretary Mark Rey, stopped speaking, Burns thanked the reporters for joining the call, and everyone hung up. Except the video camera was still rolling. 'That's the way to shut that down,' Burns is seen saying on the tape, a video file of which was e-mailed to HOH. 'Huh? That works!' Then came a 'you bet!' as he put on his white cowboy hat and prepared to get up from his desk."

Sen. Max Baucus: You might have heard those ads for Conrad Burns using my name. Well, let me be clear. I support Jon Tester. The fact is, Senator Burns and I disagree on a lot of things. For example, he supports a national sales tax on everything Montanans buy. Boy I sure don't. And you can bet that Jon Tester and I will stop any national sales tax. And we'll push for more tax cuts to help Montana's families. I'm certainly going to vote for Jon Tester, and I hope you do too. Jon Tester: I'm Jon Tester and I approve this message.
