“Is that not true ?”
“No – of course not – if Bette wants me along I would never say no “
“I think that it was suggested in the early stages of the planning but for some reason it was dropped”
“Well no one ever asked me “
“Sometimes it happens – your schedule might clash with Bette’s or a visit that you might be wanted on might get dropped because of Bette’s schedule – these things happen “
“I should get used to the shit they write but it still pisses me off”
“I think you get good treatment by the press “
“You do – like the fat jibes after Ella was born – that tore me apart “
“You knew that would happen didn’t you – I remember you saying that you knew you would get that written about you “
“Well it hurt – do you really think that the press are good to me ?”
“Of course. First – you are one of them – you know these people. I remember either you or Bette making a jibe about one reporter’s editors marriage habits when you two announced your engagement. Plus when you were Press Secretary you did use what you knew to keep them in check. You never did it explicitly but you did it. Maybe they admire you – maybe they are scared of you but they do see you as one of the old press pack “
“So I get an easy ride because I know their skeletons ?”
“No – I think its because a lot of the press lot knew you when you were up to your fanny in mud and blood – they respect you a lot “
“Funny way to show it “ I mutter
“And they love you because you have brought a glamour to the White House that was missing when Bette was single. They love writing about you and her – its easy stuff. The press have written about the state of every White House marriage since John and Jackie. And it has to be said – you are not like most First Ladies “

Tina needs to talk with H and Bette about this and sooner rather than later. What a quagmire
Wow- how did I miss this detail about Afganistan. OH Ally, you are the drama queen supreme.
It`such an interesting story,can`t wait for the next chapter.Thank you very much.Have a nice weekend.
Well said Shane! Have a great weekend Ally!
Shane doesn’t mince words. Maybe that’s what Tina needs, a good dose of reality.
Well, well…I missed the Afghanistan link somehow!! Ah, Tina it is time for a “Come to Jesus” meeting with Ms. Helena! Some white house drama going on! Have a great weekend and PPS!
Well now Tina knows what everyone else knows, that Helena should not be anywhere near the White House and certainly not on Tina’s staff. Bette said so a few chapters ago while talking to CJ. If Tina wasn’t so damned stubborn she would see that Helena should not have been her Chief of Staff for all of Shane’s stated reasons. Hope she will consider that and get rid of Helena and not be a fool and dig her heels in over getting rid of her. As President Bette should let Tina know that from now on Helena is not welcome in the White House and certainly not in her administration in any way. If she ends up in her mother’s administration, if she wins, then that will be Peggy’s problem. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Hi Ally.. Have a great weekend ahead! :-) thanks for posting before you left ;-) this chapter is so marvelous, so many revelations for Tina before their holiday, hopefully she would use all the informations wisely and have good decisions made for the sake of their marriage and the administration/political career … :-) my dear Ally… You really a great writer! This story is still so amusing and the x factor is always brings to life on every turn you made! Kudos to you Ally :-) looking forward to your next posting once you are back! :-) cheers!
You always have new twists to keep the story fresh and interesting. Have a good weekend. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Glad Shane told Tina the truth, but will Tina be smart enough to listen?
Wow, Shane let her have it. Hope Tina listens.
OMG..I’M SHOCK TO SAY THE LEAST….I’M MORTIFIED!…HELENA?…she’s a good …guy right?..or she’s just pretending all along?…just to be with Tina ..and when their marriage a bit rocky?..she jumps in?!!… Afghanistan…fucking afghanistan!..
Oh my! I didn´t see that one coming! PPS
Hi Ally, Wow wee! What a brilliant twist that finally hit pay-dirt. This were suggestions that Helena wasn’t doing the best by Tina and now Shane has let the cat out of the bag. Much of the distain between Tina and Shane has obviously come from Bette’s attempts at protecting Tina from this truth. Tina now needs to take some time and sort herself and her office out. I think a long hard look at wat has been going on is needed. This shouldn’t intefere with the family’s holiday. In fact this time away is just want is need to give some distance and clarity. Kit’s comments about Tina’s potential visit to Afganistan only further cements Helena’s poor performance. I can’t wait to read more as I hope that Tina and Shane regain their friendship after this heated discussion. More please. Ally, you continue to provoke and inspire with this drama. Thank you so much. Your Loyal Fan.
Excellent update. thank you.
overjoyed on the updates Ally..and on the plot developments,,pl keep them coming
was tina stubborn about helena? i don’t recall her being idiotic about helena business, got to read some back chapters. Tina has it tough as well with beating herself up over stupid holly incident. I hope she sorts out her thoughts. Shane does say what she thinks but she sounds kinda bit too accusatory here…Helena’s Afgan idea is after all not Tina’s idea or decision.
