Disaster! Not enough limos for limo libs in Denver

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 13, 2008 02:44 PM

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.

Horrors:

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.

    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.

    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. :lol:

    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.

    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.

    That brings up a joke: How many dems can you stuff into a bus?

    If it’s the Obamessiah’s bus, as many as he can throw under it.

    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 …

    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”.

    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….

    Well ,they are all so enviroment friendly–I’m sure we can get enough bicycles for all of them.

    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.

    How many carbon credits are they going to charge for those limo rides?

    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.
