Disaster! Not enough limos for limo libs in Denver
Maybe limousine liberals who can’t book fancy cars for the Democrat National Convention in Denver should swallow their own sanctimonious eco-medicine and walk, bike, or pedicab. Perhaps planet savior Nancy Pelosi would be willing to pedal.
Thousands of delegates, politicians, supporters and protesters are expected to descend upon Denver for the Democratic National Convention in two weeks. One thing they may not find is a ride around town due to a lack of limousines.
“Everyone wants a limo, but you can only supply so many,” said Gene Cookenboo, president of the Limousine Association of Colorado and owner of Presidential Limousine, the largest limo service in Denver.
According to records, 271 limo companies are registered at DIA. However, Cookenboo says the majority of those companies only have one to three cars. It comes at a time when limo companies are expected to make 125 runs a day during the DNC compared to 80 during a normal week.
“We’re simply running out of cars,” said Cookenboo.

They need the limos. For (cough) protection (cough).
Do they make stretched Priuses?
Hey, I’ll come out and drive them around. But they’ll have to do it in my Hummer.
I understand Hertz has lots of VW bugs they can use. They don’t use much gas and you can get them in green.
L
Maybe this is all part of Mayor Hickenlooper’s plan to make this a green convention?
So much for the “greenest” convention ever.
Let them take public transportation like they’re always telling us to do.
All together now…”It’s for the children!!!1!”
shouldn’t they be riding Donkey’s anyway?
Well they better be checking the air pressure in all the limos that they DO use!
Fortunately for the Republicans, they will not have the same issue as apparently no one is going to their convention.
You mean they won’t be flying around town in their private jets? I guess the economy’s hitting everyone hard.
“I got no car and it’s breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that’s a start…”
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah
LOL…..just another reason to not support the Democrats. Sure, they all represent the common man, because we all drive in limos.
When I was in college, the head of one of our environmental student groups didn’t even recycle.
Imagine that.
They do and you can get a lot more sail area on them.
Love it. But to be fair, they may have to drive way out of town to get real food.
How many carbon credits are they going to charge for those limo rides? …
Does the Goracle have a published listing of carbon credit rates for various activities? … or is it just a flat rate? … or is it just whatever they can get you to shell out? …
Green convention huh? … Does that mean they are going to paint all those limos green? …
Hypocritical Democrats … hmmm … guess that’s a bit of an oxymoron … isn’t it? …
More moron than oxy to be sure …
Maybe limosine drivers from all over the country will be willing to drive to Denver to help out!
Rubbing eyes, looking at story again…….Rubbing eyes some more…….Michelle had to make this up…..rubbing eyes……..BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA and this was going to be the greenest convention ever. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
That’s because there’s no limos!
ROFL
Seriously…for all the “drive less, use less fossil fuels, and lets save the environment” crap…these people are jokes.
Nice try though chap, but i couldnt let that slide
Well, everyone knows that the Democrats are the party of hypocrisy.
Don’t they?
I’ll go up there and give them rides on the back of my Harley-Davidson Sportster.
Do y’all think Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, et. al. would like being “Chopper Chicks”, and “Biker Babes”, and “Motorcycle Mamas”?
Tre, that wouldn’t be good for San Fran’s botox, with all that wind and all.
Is that the adult version of “Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo”?
Can you honestly fault Conservatives for being unimpressed with a “Republican” candidate who walks, talks and acts like a Liberal?
Sheesh. Even I recycle. I’ve been putting out those blue bags religiously every Tuesday for pick-up ever since I can remember!
The fact that Obamessiah wants his own stadium for his acceptance speech should show everyone how much they care about conserving energy. Not only will they have to power the convention hall with all the lights, media equipment, etc. they’ll have to do the same at the stadium. Hypocrites. Pure and simple.
tre …
Could we call them the Harley Harlots? … Just asking …
Please. A limo is actually a very efficient, eco-friendly way to transport your local elected official, his press secretary, one candy man and two strippers named Trixie and Desiree.
Anything to improve the image.
No. It was a joke. Lighten up, Francis.
Well they could use the bicycles that were to be donated for delegate use by a bicycle advocacy group. Well, maybe not according to the following:
Maybe the Obamessiah can “volunteer” some of his supporters to drive the delegates around. Bwahahahaha!!!
Let ‘em walk. From what I’ve seen most of them can use the exercise. Maybe it will keep their mouths shut for a while although I doubt it.
.
There is a shortage of Limousines not brooms.
I sure hope the limos they are using are made from biodegradable materials and manufactured by American union labor. You know, like the fanny packs they were trying to find.
Oh, boo-hoo!
http://lonewacko.com/images/tiniest-violin.jpg
OK, just confirmation there that we’re in fact talking about the democratic convention. Got it
Still, in all seriousness, if they were using this to put piles of people and cut down on car usage, i might get behind it…but i doubt thats the case.
It might be a problem getting their poles into the limo, though.
Oh, I get it, you’re a funny lawyer.
Roger that.
I would suggest this for their traveling convenience but I figure Barack and Nancy would fight over who gets to steer.
Resisting temptation to make tasteless joke.
This whole convention is a tasteless joke.
I assume that all of the limos will be hybrids?
Correct. You know I was talking about the Dems because the strippers were not named Tex and Brad.
There’s a simple explanation for all of this that everyone is missing. The noble Democrats sacrifice their lives in humble service of their constituents. It’s only reasonable for them to expect some minor comforts in return! You know, a sip of water here; crust of bread there. Besides, they simply couldn’t do their jobs without expending thousands of pounds of automobile & airplane fuel to get themselves twelve servants, I mean staff, where they need to go. Every week.
Actualy? Just forwarded this link to a freind of mine out in California, who just happens to own a Limo Company….
WOOOTTTTT… would love for him to make a buncha change off the Dhimi Dems.
How many private helicopter companies are in Denver?
I’d be careful about letting Nan ride behind you. I have a feeling she’d like it and you’d never get rid of her.
Oh, the strippers’ poles…
Please don’t give them any ideas. I would feel sorry for the people of Denver with helicopters flying around all day.
don’t panic, don’t panic……PANIC AAAARRRGHH NO LIMOS!!!! ARRRGHGHHH..
liberal poltician mode off/
sorry, but i got that it was the dems by this:
I dont give a crap about the environment so much that i’d drive eco-friendly limos. i’d show up in a stretch hummer that gets 2 miles to the gallon.
But, if anyone has trixie or desiree’s number, lemme know
nice shot tho chap
That’s exactly what they should be doing
Give Edwards’ lawyer a call.
10-4
HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!

The Bringer of Light don’t need no stinkin’ limos…
He will be carried into Mile High, much in the style of Xerxes.
Hmm….come to think of it…rich liberals not riding around in limos provides what? Altogether now….
CHANGE!!
God forbid a Dem actually walk and be exposed to ‘gasp – regular people – oh the horror
That brings up a joke: How many dems can you stuff into a bus? No one knows, there has always been enough limos to go around.
I don’t think that windmill can produce enough credits to cover this thing.
There should be outrage! Outrage!
DemCON 08 and without enough gas guzzling limos filled with fried foods and nonsensical platters that do not abide by strict colorimetric codes set forth by Dr. Dem himself? OUTRAGE!
Too bad the GORacle already has a fleet to match his bloated ego. Hey, maybe they could just climb on top of his inflated head. It should seat about 250 hypocrites. But then again, they might be exposed to too much CO2, if anyone has been to the brown pancake lately.
No. That is the first site I could find that linked to a story that has been making the rounds. Actually it looks like the story originally came from Politico.
DNC Limo.
Poor dhims! I’d be happy to drive some of ‘em around in my big ol’ Expedition. If I leave for Denver early tomorrow morning . . . .
Nah, guess not. They might be knitting names.
If it’s the Obamessiah’s bus, as many as he can throw under it.
I heard he was going to ride in on a donkey and the superdelegates were going to be spreading palm frans in front of him as he approaches the
temple mountstadium.All I can picture is Nan’s face on the back of a Harley, even at 80 mph there would be no movement.
Oh mercy me! Democratic Party fat cats are going to have to be ferried around town in a {{{shudder}}} rent car?
Oh the horror of it all …
Well ,they are all so enviroment friendly–I’m sure we can get enough bicycles for all of them.
They should HIRE all the homeless people they “dis-placed” from the streets around the convention to drive the donkey-crats to and from the convention. oh- wait, sorry they will all be at the movies still being a non-functioning member of society…
I wonder if that 271 companies include this company. Or perhaps Harry Reid could get a deal from this Las Vegas limo company. Why stop the hypocrisy now?
There is only one solution to this problem…
Helicopters!!!
so whats the problem here again? people need transportation..
Mmmmm. “Limosineless Liberals” has such a nice ring to it …
Hasn’t getting rid of the internal combustion engine been a goal of Al Gore for years? Here’s a chance for Democrats to live their dream. They can show the rest of the country how easy it is to “get off oil”. But somehow, I just don’t expect to see Gore or any other Dem official walking or biking to the convention. They’ll probably just airlift Limos from DC, where they have plenty.
My first thought when I read this story? That there really ARE enough limos but the owners are keeping them locked up in anticipation of the looting, rioting and limo-tipping guaranteed to follow any Dem convention.
Yes this will be the “Greenest” convention every, oh and btw do as we say and not as we do.
I’ll bet there is no shortage of Yellow Cabs in Denver. The common mans limo.
You beat me to it as the first thing I thought was that they needed a stretch broom.

No aj, lo it shall be Obama who will be riding in on a donkey, while the whordes lay palm branches at his feet and for him to walk upon!!
the city should provide the democrats some horses or better yet, burros.
I’ve got a broomstick Nancy Pelosi can use as her ride to the convention.
Great gass mileage on one of those things.
And environmentally friendly from what I hear.
You all act like this is another example of the Democrats’ hypocrisy. What you fail to realize is that the conventioneers will have their drivers get out and push the cars to the convention.
This looks like a job for Men In Black.
opps, I said black.
May I suggest a parade of covered wagons caravaning to worship the chosen one in lieu of stretch limos?
Wait, on second thought, the gaseous emmissions from the tail ends of oxen are no match for that of the dimocratic ogliarchy.
Perhaps Obama “volunteers” can be used in the yokes.
What a dilemma for the global warming zealots…
Let them take the bus the way they want us to. But check the tire pressure first-while the bus is moving is optional.
Chap,
LOL – outa sight! You are on a roll today!
lgm? lgmmmmmmmmm?
HMMMM, wonder why he is not here telling his liberal buddies they should be taking the bus and saving the planet.
Oh, because he is
anThe Idiot!Cookenboo? Hickenlooper? Just add Sebelius & you’ve got a Star Wars sequel! Or at least the next Cantina Band.
Yet another issue the NRC will let slip through their fingers.
Boo-freakin’-hoo. Practice what you preach, all you eco-nuts and Al Gore worshipers. Get out the Birkenstocks and hoof it to the convention; be green – save the planet!
Leave the cars and fuel for those of us who don’t believe in such quackery.
This is the West, we mostly drive ourselves out here. We don’t have many limos or taxis and public transportation is limited. UNLESS you’re downtown. Which is where the convention hotels are. And the activities. So what the heck do they need limos for? Take the Mall shuttle to the north end, then walk to the Pepsi Center. For Invesco, take the light-rail from either the Mall or the Pepsi Center.
If they really, really, really need a ride, they can call me and my ‘93 Oldsmobile.
And virtually all of the hotels that the limo crowd will stay in have a courtesy shuttle from the airport.
What??? Do you actually expect these people to ride in a shuttle with the little people???

A good zinger is a good zinger, even if it’s pointed at my side of the fence. . .and that’s a good zinger.
Anyways, how can one appear important, if one doesn’t show up in a limo? What’s the point of being a superdelegate if no one notices you? Oh. . .I forgot. . they’re supposed to be representing America, and working for a better tomorrow. Maybe they forgot too.
Let ‘em walk. For cryin’ out loud, the hotels are downtown, the Pepsi Center is downtown, Invesco is downtown. The parties are downtown, the restaurants are downtown, the nightlife is downtown. They can walk . . . and the rest of us who have to live here while they invade our lovely city won’t have to breathe their “carbon footprints”.
Hey, Michelle: What did you do with all the limos??
You are SO mean.
This will surely inspire a call for massive limousine subsidies.
Send them a fleet of smart cars.
Hello, Libs/Dems?! Those yellow-looking cars driving down the streets, their called cabs.
Oh! Look! Cabs and a Super Shuttle.
Hey, they even have hybrid cabs?
There. Problem solved.
What’s all the complaining about? Do they just whine to hear themselves or something.
Self-edit:
theirthey’reYeah well, expect that all of the available sidewalk princesses will be released from jail the day before the convention starts too.
Condom vendors will retire to the Caymans after the lib joy joy convention.
If I had a limo, no matter where I lived in the US, I’d get my chassis over to Denver and make myself a fortune. That’s what we capitalist pigs do!
Weren’t the Dem convention organizers being idiotically ruthless about only wanting “green” food and party favors?
How do they explain the fact that they have already put a strain on the available limo supply to get to the “greenest Dem convention ever”?
And sales of Rid should be brisk as insurance against the risk of dreaded Saber tooth crotch crickets, before the long flight home (a sure give away for any trusting significant others)(Liz).
Hey libs, they do love trips to the beach though, were they can play in the sand (you know just in case drug stores run out of cricket abatement).
