Carmen Pilar purred at me over the phone.
"You can save your friend or your president.... not both."
The intel was solid and I had 13 of my most cutthroat "associates" closing in on her.Then she pulls this shit.
"Well it is Bush's last day" was my stunningly original reply. I mean if it was between Shrub and Davey then that village in Texas was never going to see it's idiot again.
" I said president! If I wanted to kill chimps I'd go to the zoo and throw pretzels into their pens....what's it to be?"
I'm interrupted by Schneider's growl in my ear-piece.
" I have a clean shot."
What??? On the Mall? Today?...then I recall that Schneider's definition of a 'clean' shot was somewhat broad.
Who exactly would he be killing with that shot?
To be continued.

This reads like you should be putting up a post every hour for 24 of them...
Shannaboley.
I thought of you last nite (ok that doesnt sound right) but anyway I wondered if you would go to the mall.I hope you did! would love to hear about it.Although the whole of Washington must bee a buzz anyway.
Kim,
Ha.You might be on to something.
Shanna,
As much as I wanted to go I wasn't going to subject the kids to that.They're only 5,4 and 2 and the restrictions on what could be brought in to the city would have meant a very uncomfortable day.
Besides I have to go to work (literally around the corner from the WH)tonight.
It was a tough choice but the weather really sealed it.It is dangerously cold (as you well know)and the fun and games are really only beginning.
