> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I wouldn’t give up my hotel room, even if I didn’t hate Bush. Fuck that shit, I paid for and reserved the room, it’s MINE. Why should someone richer and more powerful than me get to kick me out? In all likehood, you’d still have been kicked out of your room, the hotel cancelling your reservation. Actually, you’d probably have been kicked out too if Mick Jagger wanted the room. ---

And of coures, there’s the old Dilbert strip wherein he tries the “well, give me HIS room, then” line, and unbeknownst to him, the Pope is standing right behind… But yeah, any of us commoners would have been just kicked out – then again, the only reason the Hotel asked the Stones nicely is because, well, after 12:01 EST on Jan. 20 2009, _they_ will still be someone to reckon with. George will be just some guy who likes to chainsaw sagebrush… ---

Mick should give up the room, but make sure the groupies hide out there. And the photographers. 😃 ---

> [@Airman Doors](#): > > Update: [the story is not true](http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/04/26/rolling_stones_did_not_refuse_to_give_up). Well , the story was published in the _Sun_ (one of Murdock’s organs) . This paper is notorious for stories which later turn out not to be true. ---

> [@Airman Doors](#): > > Update: [the story is not true](http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/04/26/rolling_stones_did_not_refuse_to_give_up). So, is any of the story true? The only contradiction seems to be whether the hotel asked Mick Jagger to give up the room, or decided on their own to honor Mick Jagger’s reservation and refuse Bush’s. ---
