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.

Small point Yash, but superdelegates do not represent America. They represent the Party hierarchy. Elected delegates, on the other hand, should definitely be forced to take public transportation like the other plebs…uh…I mean ordinary Americans.
Maybe if the Libs had to buy their own gas they would have second thoughts. Let them find out what it is like to pay for your own way.
ROFLMAO
Hey! Has anyone else seen the Tennessee GOP’s latest video about Obama and Kilpatrick that Allah has posted? You know, Bill Hobbs really seems to love taking jabs at the Democrats, even more than when he blogged on his own site regularly.
What? The leftists have grabbed all the limos again, don’t they have too many of these dang celeb-award shows the way it is?
What’s next? An arugula shortage? No Grey Poupon to smear over their dictated veggie-only meals?
It’s tough to be a Dem some days.
No big deal. They can always use one of them Wind/Solar/Electric/Squirrel farts powered hybrids I keep hearing about.
And, they actually have those out there that they could use, RC.
Ha!
what no wind or natural gas vehicles??
let’s not forget about all the air travel to get everybody there…wow we are really conserving aren’t we…
In case you missed it, Newt, on Hannity and Colmes, suggested they “fly” limousines in from Saudi Arabia-about 70% of what they need. I might add they should also fly in the gasoline they need as well.
DesertLover says:
How many can Obama throw under his bus?
No one knows … Every time it looks full Obama puts more air in the tires to raise the bus …
yes, why DO these people need limos? Take the freaking bus, fer cryin’ out loud; that’s what you tell everyone else to do, dems!
besides that they have a really nice light rail system that could be utilized and guess what it runs from downtown right to the Pepsi Center and Invesco….gee if it’s good enough for the AVS and Bronco fans it darn well good enough for these so called Americans….
Yes, where are all those liberals who want mass transit for the masses?
Better get your heads outta your butts… Ain’t no WHORE gonna ride in no PRIUS fool…
You can forget bicycles. The “greenest convention ever” has banned them within the perimeter of the Pepsi Center or Invesco Field, where the Anointed One(TM) will be exalted on high.
Forget about the carbon footprints, just think about all the hot air coming out of the Mile High City from August 25th through the 28th. It’s going to affect weather patterns from Denver to the Atlantic Ocean and probably beyond. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, etc. Oh my…
what is the MPG of a limo in city traffic? I would guess maybe 10. I would love to hear a report on how many thousands of gallons of fuel were used just by limos for DNC attendees.
