You know, I’ve never been a Rolling Stones fan. Until now. Mick is awesome. ---

Oh, Bushie, don’t you weep, ‘cause I kept the hotel suite I hate that sadness in your eyes But Bushie…, Bushie, ain’t it time we said too bad? With no booking in your name and no match to my great fame You can’t have my hotel room But Bushie, I can’t stand you, baby Ev’rywhere I look I see your policy There ain’t a president that comes close to you Next time maybe try Travelocity? ---

> [@Baker](#): > > I’ve got to tell my aunt, the Republican committee member for her state, about this. She’s so Republican that she thinks Reagan was one of our great presidents. Ugh. When I was a little girl, I thought Reagan was God. Literally. My parents spoke of him in tones of respectful awe, and in trying to explain his position to my four-year-old self, they told me that he was the boss of everybody. Somehow, I decided that meant he was God and would sit, rapt, in front of the TV whenever he spoke, listening intently to the Word. ---

Why should he give up the room it wasn’t a Presidential Suite. ---

Meh, whatever. I don’t see the Stones as having done something particularly big or significant. They’re wealthy and powerful in their own right; they happened to have a very very minor run-in with someone else wealthy and powerful and said “no.” Woo-hoo, all hail king Mick! :rolleyes: ---

What forum did I post this in? I just thought it was amusing, that’s all. It’s not every day that a rock star (or anybody else) gets a chance to deny the President something he wants. ---

Something tells me that if _I_ had booked the hotel suite, they wouldn’t have called and asked if I wanted to give up the suite to either GBW OR that little squirrel, Mick Jagger. It sucks having no leverage.
