The L Wing chp 84
I cannot believe this — she is turning down the role as the second most important person in America !
“Shane – you are kidding me right — you want us to have Strauss or Bennett foisted on us “
“Both would be more acceptable to the party than me “
“Bullshit — in case you haven’t noticed I have pretty much carte blanche to do what I want at the moment. You’ve seen the figures — I have a popularity that most wartime leaders don’t enjoy . The party will accept my choice “
“Arrogance has always been the part of your personality that turns voters off Bette . I won’t be a pawn in your fight with the leadership – you should pick Bennett – he’s a good man. “
“And you are twice the man he ever could be “
“No Bette – I know you are used to getting your own way but not over this – think again — talk to the party chairman “
Shane beeper sounds and she looks at me – almost requesting permission to leave
“This is not over Shane – not by a very long way “
“There’s only one person in the White House more stubborn than you and do you know who that is ? “
“You “
“Exactly – I don’t want the job Bette “
Our brief conversation over I walk out of the study with her. Tina is sitting up rubbing the sleep from her eyes
“Hia Shane “
“Hey there Tina – Bette says you aren’t feeling that well ?”
“Coming down with something “
I can see Tina looking between the two of us trying to fathom what is going on.
“I hope you feel better soon – have a good evening “
When I return from showing Shane out Tina is wide awake.
“Something big is going on “ she says looking at me
“Yes – something big is going on — shall we make a start on dinner or aren’t you hungry ?”

ally i was kidding when i suggested alice(would be hilarious though). you were supposed to pick me andy 20 for vp come on. i seriosly have to admit between alice and bush i would vote for alice. why do i live in america again? post soon please so i can c if bette laughs. bette: T did you smoke somethin and not share? how bad is your fever, im taking you to the doctor.alright im done being an idiot. :)
Al will be cool !!!
yes i agree with carter!! lets pray
I could see Alice as the VP. Our country could use a little help in the comedy side of life. Not that Alice is not serious but she is just a hoot even in normal terms. I think that she would be an awesome choice. Tina does have a great mind and she fits well with the Cheif. Hope that it is just a cold and not something serious. Also hope that Peggy will come through the surgery and be able to return to her post.
Oh my, Alice is our VP and this is gonna have a lot of fun and going to drive Bette and everybody crazy lol. OK post soon please, thanks!
Alice? mmmm Tina must to has their reasons because Alice, and always two brains thing better than one, well one and a half cause Tina is sick and she can’t thing in the better way! excellent as always! enjoy the sports! maybe Justine can repeat her triumph like in Roland!
Alice…hmm wasnt really expecting that..oh god help us all
You are amazing – this was a great chapter – the back and forth with Bette and every character just felt so real – loved it.
yay am I first. Good one Tina, even sick the brain works, of course Alice!!!!!!!
ohhhhh I’m all cut up cuz I wasn’t first..lmao..but I was first from the southern hemisphere??? yes, I am a type A… still more lmao…but seriously what job is Tina going to have? and don’t you make her get seriously sick, I will never forgive you, maybe she can be a Special Ambassador for the President?? you Top Secret negotiation missions cuz she’s got the experience and credentials to manage that sort of high flying but highly secretive job, she could charm all the overseas diplomats etc posted to Washington, probably have a lot more fun job then Bette has running the world from the oval office…maybe there could be some trouble hotspots that Tina could sneak in and out of e.g. Israel, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Russia etc etc.
alice really? Is that the fever talking? haha…please update soon
well i can see why you might think its traditional to have a complete clown as VP….
Alice!!!! Oh my god! Lol. God bless America. Alice would be the funniest and most crasiest candidate to suit Bette. Right on Ally. Keep em coming. Awesome chappy! :) P.P.S.
Hmm Alice eh? Well I guess that it’s possible that the threat of Alice might make Shane change her mind! Loving the way you keep us wondering what you’re going to write next. This story is still consistently excellent. Oh and agree with your assessment of the state of all things sporty at present.
Alice would be a hoot! Man, I wish these pesonalities were running our country,Ally. That was a great chapter.
OMG! Alice? Do you mean our Alice? lol.. Bless America. Well, no harm for few months right? But what if Peggy can’t make it.. hm… touch decision. Still think Shane is the best candidate.
Disappointed with Tim’s showing at Wimbledon all these years? Get your revenge! Next time you have Henry appear in a story, you could refer to him as Hen-man.
Alice? Oh my God, Tina’s really sick, call a doctor immediately! Doesn’t she remember the exceptionally bad job Alice did as temporary press secretary while they were in London? Christ, she says the wrong thing as VP and we could have WWIII on our hands. Please take Tina’s suggestion for what it is: fevered ranting. For the sake of the entire world, please leave Alice behind the scenes!
LOL @ Alice being the VP. That would be something to see… No, no, I don’t mean that she can’t so it. I just think that there’s great potential there for some humour!!
omg alllllllllllllllllllllllll
Alice???? Now that would make for some hilarious moments even funnier than VP Dick Cheney’s hunting fiasco!! Now Ally, DO NOT make Tina’s sickness any more serious than the common cold or the flu! LOL
Alice a VP and I think of Gore and Chaney and I would want Alice. She can make a Joke and you will for get her mistakes. I believe that Shane will reconsider if She thinks Alice as VP Dont let Tina be to ill. Bette needs her now with Peggy out. thanks
Woohoo.. Alice? Alice as VP? LOL :)) That would be quite something. Oh yeah
Damn I skipped reading this yesterday. Catching up now. ALICE?!!!!!???!?!?! WTF that makes no sense at all. I love Alice dearly but DAMN! Helena would make more sense. What about Carmen? Or is she too green for that much responsibility?
Just love this story, you’re my girl Ally.
wow, if L Wing is a break from the drama in the other story, then I had better wait until tomorrow to catch up on your other fanfic ;) I love the twists in your stories and your unique style!! …but Alice?!? Hope it’s just a threat for Shane and not for our whole country :)
LMAO!! Alice as VP. If that happens the famous Ally humor will really get a workout. She would totally drive Bette to the brink of insanity. Your mind works in mysterious ways my friend and I love it. Keep it up!
Alice! No way; what is Tina thinking? Ally-it’s amazing how like your interest are to my own. I’m so excited about Wimbledon starting tomorrow so if you need the 2 weeks off to focus on tennis I’ll understand b/c i’ll be glued to the TV myself. And I’m pulling for Andre as well, though I think he has better chances of winning the US Open.
