Jagger wins suite war against Dubya!
Jagger wins suite war against Dubya :P :rofl:
Asian News International

London, April 24, 2006

It was the battle of the hotel room for George W Bush and Rolling Stone frontman
Mick Jagger, when the singer refused to give up his suite to the US President.


Jagger hired the luxury Royal Suite at the five-star Imperial Hotel
in Vienna, Austria, which is rated to be among the top 100 hotel rooms
in the world, where the Stones are due to perform in June.

In doing so, he beat Bush’s aides to the punch, when they tried to book
it to tie in with a summit meeting.

A source said that Jagger, an out-spoken Bush critic, had refused to
budge from the 3,600 a night suite when the US President’s aides came calling.


“White House officials had wanted to reserve the suite and all the other rooms
on the first floor. But Mick and the Stones had already booked every one of them.
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 Sun quoted the source, as saying.

And, it was Bush throwing in the towel first, for the hotel confirmed that
he would no longer be staying there.

3. I'm pretty sure there are *free* beds at the U.S. Embassy in Vienna
Is that not good enough?

Ok, how 'bout the Marriott? The Sheraton? Best Western??

13. What a great feeling that must have been--to have said NO to the Prez
Aren't too many people in the world that get that opportunity--wonder what sort of retaliation they will be in for? They might blame the leak case on Mick himself. LOL

20. Let Chimpy sleep in his car...
...seeing as how those armour-plated SUVs he rides around in cost the taxpayers so much, the government should at least be getting more value out of them.
