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.
President Bush ... will have to find other luxury suite
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.
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.
“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 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.
The hotel last night admitted US secret service agents vetted the accommodation — and confirmed that Bush would no longer be staying there.
An American Embassy official refused to say where he was now staying for “security reasons”.
Mick takes a swipe at Bush, 59, on the latest Stones album A Bigger Bang, savaging his Iraq War policy. |

This will surely rocket the Democrats into the White House and give them a majority in the Congress and Senate and also let them control the Supreme Court

"Now Mick, 62, who has been a fierce critic of the Bush-led war in Iraq, is refusing to give it up."
Not to let facts get in the way of a story that has been pulled from "The Sun" and mis-quoted 100 times in 24hrs, but can someone here show us where Mick has been a "fierce critic" of the war in Iraq
I must have missed that over the last two years
But if it is in The Sun and on the internet is simply must be true
Thanks in advance

I was surpised that the story made it to CBS's all news radio outlet in Chicago late last night, where the story was treated as fact and as a big deal. |

old rich guys fighting over hotel suites...
what Mick should really do if he wants to stick it to Bush is start playing "Dangerous Beauty" live and say whats on his mind. Maybe with some cool video footage. Then segue into Gimme Shelter. Wear a Fuck Bush shirt onstage. |

at least Chris has the balls to speak out for what he believes in.
I just dont see wtf Sir Mick is afraid of?? Hes fucking MICK JAGGER!! He can say whatever the hell he wants. If he feels so strongly against Bush and the US involvement in Iraq than he should speak his mind and not be such a pussy who only real concerns are about his fat wallet. |

Chris said something? Did anyone hear it? Or care?
You are right, if Mick felt like you say and felt "so strongly against Bush and the US involvement in Iraq than he should speak his mind"
But he hasn't. And the article was 100% wrong |

Edward Peter Leo McMahon, Jr. was born in Detroit Michigan in 1923. McMahon led a somewhat unhappy and nomadic childhood. His father traveled all over the country pursuing various financial ventures including carnival jobs and bingo games. Nevertheless, McMahon had a good lineage. His great-great-great-grandfather, the Duke of Magenta, was a marshal and president of France. The Duke's favorite sauce, named Macmahonaise in his honor, was later shortened to mayonnaise. McMahon's grandmother was the cousin of Rose Fitzgerald, mother of John F. Kennedy. Many of McMahon's summers were spent at his grandparent's in Lowell Massachusetts. McMahon's ambition was to be a radio announcer and had his first announcing job at the age of 15.
When the United States began gearing up for World War II, McMahon wanted to become a Marine fighter pilot. Since the Navy's V-5 program required two years of college, he enrolled in Boston College. When the Navy relaxed the two-year requirement, McMahon dropped out of school and signed up. In early 1943, he first went to a civilian-run Wartime Training School in Texarkana where the Navy evaluated cadets' potential by checking them out in a Piper Cub. Then came the three-month Preflight School at Athens, Georgia. McMahon received primary training at Dallas and intermediate training at Pensacola. McMahon received the single engine carrier syllabus and was assigned to the Marines. After receiving his commission and wings in early 1945, McMahon was sent to the Corsair Operational Training Unit at Lee Field, Green Cove Springs, Florida. Upon completion of training, he was "plowed back" and became an instructor in the same unit. On the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, McMahon received orders to join the Marine carrier program on the West Coast. His orders were cancelled and he returned to civilian life.
After McMahon graduated from Catholic University, he got a job in television in Philadelphia. In two years, he had become Philadelphia's top TV personality. In 1952, McMahon got his big break when he was offered a job in New York with CBS; however, he was recalled into the Marine Corps due to the Korean War. After several months of training at Miami and El Toro, McMahon arrived in Korea in February 1953. He flew 85 artillery-spotting missions in the Cessna OE Bird Dog before returning home in September 1953. McMahon returned to television in Philadelphia for several years. In 1958, he was hired as the announcer for Johnny Carson's Who Do You Trust? In 1962, Johnny Carson took over as host of The Tonight Show and took McMahon along as his announcer and sidekick. Carson and McMahon became an institution and remained on The Tonight Show for 6,583 programs over a 30-year period. Since retiring from The Tonight Show, McMahon has worked on several other TV shows and served as spokesman for various companies and charities. McMahon remained active in the Marine Reserves retiring as a full colonel in 1966.
