Mick beats George to suite

By THOMAS WHITAKER
Showbiz Reporter

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.

Bush’s aides then tried to book it to tie in with a summit meeting.

But Mick put his foot down and insisted he was keeping the booking.

or heaven forbid, not get the presidential suite and stay in some other luxury suite. Oh the horror.

[lpbk2713]

39. Damn right. WTF is wrong with Air Force One?

If the troops he sent to the ME can sleep on the ground in tents, this candy ass can 'rough it' in AF-1.

[sutz12]

[Rob H.]

19. Nice! Thanks, Mick!

This pic accompanying the article is pretty funny, too. Cameras really do hate the guy, don't they?

"Aw, but I wanted to waste $6,440 a night of U.S. taxpayers' money on just my suite! Dang."

[KyndCulture]

No sympathy for the (bush) Devil. Rock on, Sir Mick. :loveya:

[OhioChick]

22. Good for Mick! n/t

[bullimiami]

24. explain to me why the president of a supposedly democratic country

whos salary is around 200,000 / year has any business staying in a room that costs 7,000$ per night?

they should be respecting our fucking money and travelling on a budget.
he is not a fucking king.

[TexasLawyer]

25. Sir Michael Phillip Jagger

Sir Mick, you most certainly rock! Jolly well done!

[liberalnurse]

26. Nothing could please me more than having

someone, anyone say "No" to *bush....This has a bonus as Mick is famous, rich and loved by the world and courageous enough to tell *bush to kiss his butt.:woohoo:

[MoeHayNow]

27. When it comes right down to it,

Mick Jagger is certainly a more important historical figure than shrub.

Good on ya, Mick!

[Downtown Hound]

29. Hahahahahahaha...

I can hear the freeps now. "Hey y'all, let's go burn some Stones records! Just we did with the Beatles back in the day. That'll teach 'em!"

[TechBear_Seattle]

33. And more Stones records are sold within one week...

Than any other time in the band's history. THAT'll larn them!

:rofl:

[blue neen]

30. The Bushies will have to say "Gimme Shelter"

and hope some hotel will want their sorry asses.

Good for the Stones.

[shraby]

31. Poor shrub!! No room at the inn.

[datadiva]

32. I'm just surprised they asked the Stones to give up the suite

and even more surprised the hotel asked them to move to another suite in a different part of the city. Does Bushco not know this stuff always gets out to the public. Can they embarrass themselves any more than they already have? Oh yeah, thats right, they can.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[rurallib]

34. Rumors used to be tha Mick swung both ways

Maybe he can offer shrubeenie a spot in his bed. That would probably be an acceptable solution to both.

[liberalnurse]

35. That whole concept

you just expressed is in such poor taste.....:puke:

[i miss america]

36. You are so right

Mick can have anyone he wants. He'd never have to stoop that low.

[shain from kane]

38. Mick used to screw a Texan, Jerry Hall. Now he's screwed

Bush out of a hotel room.

[Laurab]

37. K & R I love stuff like this

and hope it gets some coverage...especially with the picture with the article!

[Pachamama]

41. Ha ha ha! Love it! Thanks Mick!

And I love the photo that the media in Europe chooses to depict the Chimperor....too funny....

Bet old Georgie doesn't like not getting his way..... :eyes:

[Nicole]

42. Sympathy For The Devil

I guess Mick has none. :toast:

“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.”

:rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

44. Why the hell is * spending so much taxpayers' money anyway?

Let him stay at a Motel6!!!!

[AuntiBush]

45. Aw. Another Hero... Don't Start him up! Go Mick!

Rock. And. Roll. :)

Great FYI piece, William Pitt. Thanks for the upbeat story.

[Cleita]

46. Fer chrissake's it's Vienna!

I'm sure there's a palace or two they can accommodate the * in. He may even like it better with all those Nazi ghosts from the past who probably bunked there when Hitler invaded Austria.

[Janice325]

47. That's great!

Go, Mick! :applause: :bounce:
At least Mick has worked his ass off to amass his fortune and get where he is today.
I certainly can't say that about W. :sarcasm:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

48. maybe they'll give him the Hitler suite as a consolation.n/t.

[oblivious]

50. Please someone do a survey: "Would you give up your hotel room for the *?"

I can't cos I'm walking out the door.

I'm wondering what the DU result would be. Well, not actually.

[Walt Disney]

52. I wouldn't give it up for the *,

but I would give it up for the $.

[anitar1]

51. Just book Little Boots at a Motel 6, where he belongs. n/t

[Orsino]

53. Does Vienna have a Superdome?

I think that would work out quite well for *.

[caligirl]

55. Lets send a box of dead roses to Mick!

[WillyT]

56. Damn... Will's Gone Hollywood...

:bounce::woohoo::bounce:

When ya headin back to S.F. dude???

Buy ya a drink, or some flowers fer your hair!

:hippie::smoke::hippie:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

57. Ain't too proud to beg for your hotel room, George?

[Mr_Spock]

58. Nice - Mick ought to fake negotiate with *, then kick him in the balls

and say "just kidding ass hole" as he points and laughs at the lying mass murderer war criminal bent over in pain

:rofl:

[Zorra]

59. Guess Mick lost his "sympathy for the devil." n/t

[eleny]

60. Scarborough changed the story on his program

He reported that Mick kicked Georgie out of the suite. The way he reported it made it sound like that. Never once did he say that Mick had already booked the place but only refused to give it up.

[orleans]

61. i would hope he wouldn't give up his room for bushit!

and who the hell does the bush admin. think it is? asking jagger to give up a freakin hotel room! how shameful of georgie.

oh wait--the bushites have no shame.

(and now they have no five star hotel room!)

[pitohui]

62. no reason he should give it up

he reserved first, his money is as good as anyone's, why should he give up his booking for the likes of *?

[spuddonna]

64. Keith Richards:" *, you ignorant slut! That's Mick suite, it is..."

"And all the time, all the time with your right-wing crap-trap...(mumbles incoherently)"
:evilgrin:
