Showbiz Reporter[/span][/p][span class="norm12"]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.[/p] Now Mick, 62, who has been a fierce critic of the Bush-led war in Iraq, is refusing to give it up.[/p] 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.[/p]

[/td][/tr][/tbody][/table][/p] Bush's aides then tried to book it to tie in with a summit meeting.[/p] But Mick put his foot down and insisted he was keeping the booking.[/p] 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.[/p] "But Mick and the Stones had already booked every one of them.[/p]

It boasts a 7ft 4in bed, chandeliers and oil paintings.[/p] Former presidents Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy and George Bush Snr all stayed there while they were in office.[/p]
