LIMO SHORTAGE FOR DENVER DEMS

Limousine liberals may be forced to take the bus at the Democratic National Convention this month because Denver simply does not have enough limos and black cars to go around.

"We just don't have the cars - Denver just isn't really big on chauffeurs," said Barbara Curtis, of Two Step Limousine. "I am totally booked, and have been for six weeks."

The city has 271 limousine companies, but most have fleets of only two or three cars, Curtis said. She expects there will be no shortage of price-gouging opportunists.

"A lot of the companies put in reservations for black SUVs, and apparently the Secret Service had all of those canceled because they needed the vehicles instead," she said.

On average, black cars cost $4,000 for the four-day convention and limos twice that.

I'm sure that once Obama lands his 757 at Denver International Airport, he and his entourage will get on a public transit bus for the 45 minute trip into downtown Denver, that's what he suggests for all of us so I'm sure he will do the same..... right?

Remember that this is the Democrat National Convention. Maybe the limo companies didn't want their vehicles return afterward, with vomit and semen on the floors, upholstery ruined, headliners stained, trash all over the floors, paint jobs keyed and tires slashed.

So when the Secret Service requested the vehicles, the companies were only too happy to cancel the previous reservations and turn the cars over to them instead.

D'ya think so? :lol:

You meant bicycles instead of "limos" correct?;)

The green party would never resort to using these long wheelbase, Detroit built, gas hogs for transportation?;)

Obviously these "limos" will be special "stretch Priuses"?;)

I don't think it will pass California Smog or CARB smog.

I don't see a PCV on the rear orifice. ;) Nor a methane collector with a regeneration reburn device. ;)

You just need to look more closely. :poke:

Consider the upside. The experience will prepare you for a long, rewarding career as an IRS auditor in Barack Obama's expanded Internal Revenue "Service".
