Good for you, Mick! It's nice to know that our tax dollars are hard at work- paying for five-star luxury hotel accomodations for the Chimperor.


PRESIDENT George Bush can’t get no satisfaction — after Mick Jagger grabbed his hotel room.

The Rolling Stone splashed out £3,600 a night for the suite days before the US leader tried to book it.

Now Mick, 62, who has been a fierce critic of the Bush-led war in Iraq, is refusing to give it up.

The veteran rocker hired the luxury Royal Suite at the five-star Imperial Hotel in Vienna, Austria, for June when the Stones are due to play a gig in the city.

1. Heh!Heh! Power mad a*holes fall to pieces over this kind of stories

I so hope W knoes about it!

[Homer Wells]

2. Way to Go, MICK

:yourock: :headbang: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :woohoo: :toast:

:hippie:

[spanone]

3. I don't blame Mick one bit. He deserves it much more than the shrub.

Mick actually earned his money. He was not born with a silver spoon in his nose.

[xchrom]

4. please allow me to introduce myself -- i'm a man of wealth and taste...

[The Doctor.]

53. "Taste"?

No... doesn't apply here.

But for the record, .... YOU ROCK.
:headbang: :yourock: :applause: :rofl: :smoke: :evilgrin: :hippie: and- :patriot: Mick, you ignorant slut,America loves ya.

[ComerPerro]

5. Remeber the nineties, Limbaugh's heyday?

He would have made a huge deal about Clinton coming in and expecting someone to give up their luxury hotel suite so that he could stay there, at the taxpayer's expense...

[CatWoman]

13. not only that

but they would have bitched, moaned and groaned about Clinton actually WANTING to stay in such a hotel.

[ComerPerro]

21. exactly. Would have called him an elitist, Ivory-tower snob

Hell, it would have been like that whole "$200 haircut" BS

[UpInArms]

36. I don't think I ever heard a word about the "royalty" of RayGun, Poppy and

POS

excerpt:

A source close to the millionaire singer said last night: “White House officials had wanted to reserve the suite and all the other rooms on the first floor.

<snip>

“Bush’s people seemed to be under the impression that they would just hand over the suites but there was no way Mick was going to do that.”

The classically-designed suite is said to be among the top 100 hotel rooms in the world. It boasts a 7ft 4in bed, chandeliers and oil paintings.

Former presidents Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy and George Bush Snr all stayed there while they were in office.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Heh, second rock star within 24 hours to dis * Administration.

Paul McCartney "unfortunately" could not meet Condi Rice as per her request during her visit to Great Britain.

[Caoimhe]

7. Probably because

she reminds him of a clubbed seal

[npincus]

8. ooooh, that's rich!

and she got a new pair of Jimmy Choos for the occasion...

[RedStateShame]

10. Rockers hate Bush

What's next? Will Brian Wilson decide to stay in his room again until Bush is out of office? Actually, I might do that if I could afford that.....

[Olney Blue]

59. And don't forget violinists, blues singers, hip hoppers, rappers, etc.

Hi RSS- welcome to DU!


:hi:

[TheLeftyMom]

41. God bless Paul McCartney for that! LOL

n.t.

[JAbuchan08]

63. I would jump at the chance to meet Condi - if only to tell her to her face

what I really thought about her.

[sharp_stick]

9. Way to go Mick

I can imagine the aides acting like indignant little kids about how this guy wouldn't give up his suite for the shrub. Now if only bush has to be put up in a Motel 6, or it's equivalent in Vienna that would make my day.

[mnmoderatedem]

11. "You can't always get what you want..."

Heh, heh. Good job Mick....

[xultar]

12. Mick. I LOVE YA BAYBAY!

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. Mick just saved taxpayers a chunk!

:thumbsup:

Somehow, I doubt the Pres and the huge entourage that come with him get the Government Rate.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Kudos to Sir Mick

[Jade Fox]

16. He may be overpaid, but at least Mick works for his money....

You go, Mick!

[DrGonzoLives]

17. Gee, one bazillionaire won't accomodate another

Yeah, big deal. Woo-hoo.

[npincus]

25. you seem to be equating the two men...

One, a rock and roll artist who has amassed a fortune through 40 years of churning out and performing great music, and the other, a pouty, pompous, war-profiteering psychopath whose abuse of power and incompetence has caused death and destruction to the lives of thousands... whose wealth and postiiion have been handed to him because of his birthright.

You're right... all rich guys are the same!

[Kolesar]

18. £3,600 a night -- that's equal to a year's rent in first apartment

[Radio_Guy]

24. Good point

While I applaud him for not kowtowing to Bush, I do question spending that much on a hotel room while there are still children starving.

[npincus]

26. the same reason why Tom Cruise brags about buying a $200K sonogram

machine and performing sonograms for fun on his prego partner! Imagine that! Ten of millions of uninsured Americans, and Tom Cruise amuses himself with giving sonograms on his own, personal machine.

Anyway... how the super-rich spend their bucks is another subject. But that's Jagger's money to spend- he ain't spending my tax dollars.

[titoresque]

33. Cruise is an idiot

does he know that sonograms can also make mayonaise?! He'll be lucky if he doesn't do some serious damage to his child.

[npincus]

35. and a shameless elitist!

Either so insulated from reality or just doesn't give a rat's ass that many of his ticket-buying audience can't afford to get a simple medical check-up! Imagine, the hubris of an overpaid actor boasting about owning a sonogram and performing the procedure on his girlfriend! Geez, there really is a side-effect to having sycophants kiss your ass all day and night, and pay you for one day's work what the average American earns in a year!

I for one will NEVER go to one of his movies again. F*ck him and his rants on psychiatry, and psychiatric meds.

[ZanZaBar]

60. Haha

Talk about a midlife crisis. Cr00ze is such a tool. BTW, I just read up on the Church of Scientology yesterday and OMG is that ever a bunch of whack-job bullshit! It should be renamed to ScienceFictionology or something. Unbelievable. And Battlefield Earth sucked too. I couldn't even finish that trash it was so bad. I think L. Ron Hubbard is a quack who wrote so much science fiction that he went brutally insane and started believing his own work. The only thing more pathetic than Scientology is his brain-dead followers.

[npincus]

61. L. Ron Hubabrd trivia:

He died on or about the day the Challenger blew up (I think it was the same day). I remember hearing about it at the time, and thinking the story will get no press because of the obvious, huge event of the Challenger explosion (and death of astronauts with Christa McAuliffe, the "first teacher in space").

A weird coincidence.

Yes, they are a bunch of NUTS-- if you ever saw the Steve Martin flick "Bowfinger", he spoofs them in it, and depicts them as a weird cult called "Mind Head". Really funny movie.

[Pacifist Patriot]

38. I imagine his parenting will have that covered.

[spooky3]

19. That traitor! Oh, wait...

bullying doesn't work so well outside your borders, eh, *?

[Hepburn]

20. Well, I guess....

....Mick finally got some SATISFACTION!

[Demeter]

43. I Got Satisfaction, Too!

Mick Jagger has just justified his entire life's work and mere existence, by taking this opportunity to really piss off the most evil men alive today, and their ventriloquist's dummy!

[kestrel91316]

22. I wouldn't put it past Bush to declare Mick and his entourage "enemy

combatants" and whisk them away to Gitmo, just to get that suite.

[malaise]

23. This is

my kind of Satisfaction :D:
Add

[misternormal]

27. You GO Mick... you're gettin' old, but ya still got balls !!!

[no_hypocrisy]

28. Kinda reminiscent of the time Al Franken stuck it to Henry Kissinger:

"One day (shortly after the Vietnam War) Henry Kissinger calls up," Saturday Night Live writer Tom Davis recalled years later, "and the call is picked up at an NBC page's desk. And the page goes, 'Henry Kissinger's on the phone. He wants tickets for his son.' And Al grabs the phone and yells into it, 'You know, if it hadn't been for the Christmas bombing in Cambodia, you could've had your f---ing tickets!'"

[NV Whino]

29. Right on Mick!

Why weren't you in the Napa Valley to prevent him shutting down the Meadowood Resort for two days? Word is they paid $100,000 for the privilege of staying at Meadowood. (I have no verification of that, but it sounds about right.)

[npincus]

30. well, the a-hole spent $40,000 of our money to vote in Crawford, Tx.

when the dumbass could've voted by absentee ballot... what does a postage stamp cost nowadays?

[NV Whino]

52. A postage stamp does not a photo op make.

}(

[IronLionZion]

31. That's Mick's own money, Shrub is wasting America's money

Good for Mick for not accomodating a spoiled chimp.

[wtmusic]

57. no kidding

conspicuous excess is becoming our national symbol.

[Initech]

32. All right, Mick!!!!

*breaks into Satisfaction riff*

[Crankie Avalon]

34. I'm sure the Viennese would prefer to have Mick Jagger around rather...

...than Smirking Monkey Bush, anyway.

Hell, if it was up to them, they'd probably put Shrub up on the outskirts of town in whatever the Austrian equivalent for a fleabag-roadside-motel-with-walls-thin-enough-to-hear-the-couple-f@cking-next-door is.

[kineneb]

40. "President Buush, ve haf a lofly inn for you...

it iss uup on dat mountain da- da vasser closet is outside, right around da corner of bildingk. Velcome to Austria, ve hope you vill enchoy your fisit."

...must imagine this being spoken by uptight-looking minor government functionary named Fritz...

(as he mutters to self: "Du bist einen scheisskopfige Kerl, du solst in Spandau stehen.")*

*You shitheaded boob, you should stay in Spandau.

[rateyes]

37. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAA...

Good! I hope the best he can find is the cabin in AF1.

[katty]

39. No Sympathy for the devil? eh Mick?! luv it!!

[Lib Grrrrl]

42. Good For You, Mick!!

I love you even more now!!

Stick that famous tongue out at our Asshole-In-Chief!!

[ElboRuum]

44. Seems reasonable...

Who do you think the Viennese want staying in their country? George Bush, destroyer of democracy and freedom, or Mick Jagger, frontman for possibly the world's most famous and long lived band which has brought joy to, dare I say, billions?

Lemme think...

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

45. Excellent thread.

:toast: Cheers to Mick!

[Jigarotta]

46. Yay! and good for Mick!

LOVE IT!!
heheheheheheh.

take that, you miserable piece of failure!

[williesgirl]

47. Made my day! He can feel real Christian - no rooom in the Inn!

[Glimmer of Hope]

48. Mick & Keith's Ode to *:

SWEET NEO CON
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

You call yourself a Christian
I think that you're a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you're a crock of shit

And listen, I love gasoline
I drink it every day
But it's getting very pricey
And who is going to pay

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con.... Yeah

It's liberty for all
'Cause democracy's our style
Unless you are against us
Then it's prison without trial

But one thing that is certain
Life is good at Haliburton
If you're really so astute
You should invest at Brown & Root.... Yeah

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con
If you turn out right
I'll eat my hat tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....

It's getting very scary
Yes, I'm frightened out of my wits
There's bombers in my bedroom
Yeah and it's giving me the shits

We must have loads more bases
To protect us from our foes
Who needs these foolish friendships
We're going it alone

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon

Yeah ha ha ha
Yeah, well, well

[HiSee]

49. George Bush should have to sleep in a tent!

In a gp small regulation Army tent until the troops are home. He should also have to travel on an Army Cargo plane sitting in the canvas strap seats, until I can again afford a tank of gas!

Mick Jagger has brought me many happy hours of listening enjoyment and dancing. He has earned a luxurious room.

George Bush has brought me many unhappy hours of worry and embarrassment:blush:. He hasn't even earned a tent!

[npincus]

54. tee hee

well said!

[Raine]

50. Cheers to Mick

he rocks!!! :thumbsup:

[cyclezealot]

51. and bush talks of cutting budgets.

can't think anyone thinks his sorry @ss is worth that much.

[Jose Diablo]

55. Well, I don't blame Mick one bit

I refuse to stay in any hotel room that costs less than 5 really big ones a night. Mick deserves the best and he will have it. When prezilnut makes his first platinum album, maybe he can get to have a room at the end of the hall one floor down from Mick. But until then, it's off to the basement boiler room and a very comfortable army cot for awol.

[npincus]

56. and an order of big, greasy roaches

with a taste for human flesh.

[Lisa]

62. they won't bother * -- professional courtesy

And you did say "human" flesh.

[wtmusic]

58. Don't say that

Now you've upset the pwesident :cry:

http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2006181393,00.jpg

[demo dutch]

64. It doubt that the US pays for Bush's hotel accommodations, so

I'm sure the hotel is tickled pink!

[mnhtnbb]

65. Way to go, Mick. Bushie boy doesn't deserve such luxury

at taxpayer expense.

[theboss]

66. Wait to fight for the common man

Oh...wait.....

This really sounds like two starlets fighting over the same Oscar dress.
