Tuesday Funny

Apparently the Rolling Stones have a better advance team than the White House. Dubya is scheduled to be in Vienna, Austria at the same time as the Stones. Notorious for luxury, privacy, and cost, the Royal Suite in the Imperial Hotel has already been booked by Mick Jagger, as well as the remaining rooms on the floor:
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.”
Curious about the rates? The Imperial Suite is $6400 per night.Which begs the question "What makes Chimpy think that US taxpayers want to put him up for that kind of money?" It seems to me that he could book accomodations more reasonably priced that relect his standing in the world. Isn't there a Motel 6 in Vienna?
