The L Wing
Chapter 235
Narration of First Lady Tina Kennard Porter
The 7pm news is leading with two White House stories -the standing down of the Chief of Staff Shane McCutcheon and the President’s losing battle with a rug and her sprained ankle. I sit with a beer and a sandwich and watch how it is being spun.
I notice with approval that the message that Henry gives out is clear. Shane is unwell and she has taken a leave of absence – she has done a fantastic job and she will be sorely missed but the President has full confidence in CJ and is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead in the New Year. Spot on -that is just the way I would have put that story out.
Its also amusing that Henry has some fun at Bette’s account for the sprained ankle. They even use my line “ The First Lady has called the President a klutz “ . That makes me laugh and I can just imagine the gags that Alice is having at Bette’s expense. But then I remember that there will be precious few laughs in the White House if Shane has left.
Bette and I agreed that we wouldn’t talk on the phone – I would wait until she got home and got a full briefing. I have had a good day with Ella – she is making progress week by week and I love just watching her exploring. She is 15 weeks old and growing all the time. I love her so much – there really is no love like a mother’s love. I know that Bette is exactly the same – she would go to any length to protect Ella and me. She is going to be one lucky little girl – she may be overly protected because she is the President’s daughter but she will have so much love in her life – that is something that Bette and I will ensure happens
Just after the news finishes the phone rings – there are only a limited number of people that this could be
“Hello “
“What the fuck has she done ?”
“Carmen ? – where the hell have you been – I have been trying to get hold of you for 24 hours “

You know it’s funny, while I was watching Gov. Palin’s speech at that rally in Ohio, I could almost picture Bette Porter–looking stunning in the same suit, with glasses on and up-do hairstyle–up there in the podium, giving the speech and making such a great impression. Great move by McCain but I don’t know if it will make a difference in November. Yeah, sometimes life has a way of imitating art. Thanks for this post, Ally! :>
I’m glad you are back on my favorite story. I hope Bette can just relaxe a little before the next shock is coming when Tina tells her from her mother. Thanks for updating. PPS
Uh, I’m very confused. Here in the good, old USA (you know, the place where we nominate women for vice president to show how fair minded we are, but only a woman who doesn’t think women (and gays) should really be free to live as they like) Beano is an anti-flatulent. I don’t think Carmen owed it to anybody the full dish on her private life, but she should and could have given a warning about Shane without being disloyal to her. And for failing to keep her boss up to date on her contact info is a good enough reason to sack her. But law would prevent ANYONE from getting info on Shane’s therapy. Bette really can’t expect to get anything other than yes or no on Shane being cleared to return to work. But Bette (say that 5 times fast) needs to learn her lesson-she unknowingly lost contact with Shane and look where that got her. It would be powerfully stupid of Bette to ignore Kit, even if she’s in no mood to forgive and forget.
Great update, Ally!
It still amazes me that after all these chapters, I get excited when I see a new chapter of The L Wing! It is because of your talent and imagination that this story not only exists, but continues to keep me involved and excited. Thanks Ally! As for Sarah Palin. I congratulate her on her nomination, however if John McCain thinks he can just throw any woman at us and we will flock to him for his openmindedness, then he has another thing coming! It is insulting to women to think that we will automatically vote for someone just because she is female!!!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!! Guess what McCain, we actually can think for ourselves! And last but not least my fellow Americans…Sarah Palin is NO Bette Porter!!!! LOL
nice update Al…Hope all is well…
Good to see you back with another great chapter AllyE. Bette did the right thing by making Shane get the help she needs. Carmen should have told Tina and Bette needs to talk with Kit and try to make amends. Tina now needs to tell Bette the info that she has found she can’t wait much longer or she will be in dutch with Bette and that would never do. Thanks for posting AllyE. Post when you can.
Hear, hear, Seahurst. Those Repubs think that women are so furious about what happened to Hillary that we will vote for any female. The only thing that Sarah Palin has in common w/Hillary Clinton is that they both have 2 X chromosomes. Hillary has done wonderful things in public service for 35 years. Palin ‘s experience level is about the same as Bette Porter’s in this fictitious story. If any PUMAs vote for Palin then they’re dissing Hillary. They only voted for Hill b/c she’s a woman. What’s scarier is that McSame could suddenly die and Palin becomes the POTUS. Rumor has it that Palin’s 17 year old daughter is pregnant and not married yet. If true, what does that say about their family values? Of course, she’ll keep the baby which they consider to be admirable. I don’t care what people do (as long as they don’t commit crimes) but can the self righteous, holier-than-thou BS when you’re no better than the many of us and perhaps worse than many, too. ally, your story never gets old. You always have new and intriguing twists.
Yep. it’s true. Sarah Palin’s 17 year old unmarried daughter is 5 months pregnant. I saw it on MSNBC as a crawler on the screen.
WHOA WHAT A MESS 4 CHRISTMAS, PLZ UPDATE SOON.
Ally, thanks for the update. I love this story and it is because of your amazing ability to write. You keep it fresh, exciting, and full of anticipation for the reader. I hope that this story never ends because like Seahurst I too get excited when I see you post any of your stories esp. this one. As for Bette she needs to become more alpha and take charge instead of allowing others (inc. her family)to manipulate and control her. I like that Tina is very knowledgeable and can help Bette when she is in crisis, but she needs to tell Bette sooner than later what she has discovered about her mom. PPVS
wow ally i hope they can figure out what is going on with shane. carmen has to smooth things over with tina! i hope bette works things out with her dad! its gonna be a long week for tina and bette! :)PPS
Agree totally with Seahurst, 235 chapters and this story is still one of my favorites… fresh, exciting, and unpredictable. Can’t imagine anyone, man or woman, helping McCain enough to get him elected… of course, I still can’t believe Bush won twice.
Excellent, this story never cease to amaze me of how captivating it is, and how much talent it takes to write such one. Thank you so much Ally, you are incredible. Love
That was great. Now let Bette relax and have a good time with Tina and Ella. Please post more, thanks!
Hey AllyE, Many thanks for the update. Good to see Bette and Tina sorting through things. Shane has been a thorn in Bette’s side but is now getting the help she needs. I do hope that Tina can get Carmen and Shane talking again. Maybe then, their love with show them the way home. Sophie needs both parents there to love and protect her. I do hope that they can find their way back to each other. AS for the lother love birds, Bette and Tina are just so perfect together. They just fit. Good to see Tina getting involved in this mess. Tina is able to see through the forest and see the trees. I hope that Bette has time to focus on her own family now and work things out. Can’t wait for your next exciting post. Much gratitude from Your Loyal Fan.
I am re reading even though I know it’s not finished. I hope you are busy writing the next chapters for this great story!!
