Westman Timeline Pt. I

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Nice update, though the third and final part, above my post is a tad confusing. I'm hoping Westman can get elected to something else in the future. An interview from earlier in the timeline has him reffering to himself as "the politician I am today" in later life. I'm guessing that signifies that he's going to hold some sort of office later in the future.

By the way, Mechaman, are you Catholic (at least to some degree)? You've probably answered this question. In your timelines, I've noticed references to Catholicism or Catholic politicians:
End of Freedom: Tammany Hall incidents and the jailing of Joe Kennedy
Goldwater: Focus on Catholic Conservative William Miller, and on William F Buckley
Westman: Westmans are (to some degree) "Catholic", as is Al Smith
Year o' Tiger: Al Smith, the Tammany Hall candidate and the 1920 Democratic nominee is Catholic

Not really.
My ancestors were Catholics (I've got a deal of Irish blood in me) who converted to Protestantism when they immigrated to the US.  Naturally this lean towards Irish Catholic politicians shows up in historical timelines, since I like other timeline writers create characters who we most identify with our ancestral background.  Though being raised a protestant I always found the stories of my Catholic cousins having a certain romantic air.
Like many others some of my ancestors didn't have detailed records so the ethnicity of some are still in question:

Father's Side:
Grandfather's parents:
Father: Dutch and Scottish
Mother: German and Irish
Grandmother's Parents:
Father: Anglo-Irish
Mother: Irish and Comanche

Mother's Side:
Grandfather's Parents:
Father: English
Mother: Irish
Grandmother's Parents:
Father: German
Mother: Swiss German

So will the Mike Gravel Democrats take over the Democrats, or will it evolve into a "purer" form of Libertarianism?

If that's the case, it will be interesting to see what happens to a Humphrey Democrat like me, er--- Watson...

Either way, Mechaman is an amazing writer. His Americana contributions had really kept my writing up. We sure miss him.

I don't know man.  When I sober up maybe I can give you a better answer.

Nah, Lawrence Watson (a "Humphrey Democrat") will have influence on the direction of the party.  After all it was his idol and Westman's grandfather who made the initial push for Civil Rights in the Democratic Party......

I miss Americana too, but at this juncture I feel that I would've been bound to regular updates.  And as everyone here probably already knows.....me and regular updates do not work.

I also wonder a great deal if Westman will retire & what will happen if he does have a little private sector adventure.

As far as Americana goes, only Kal is really making real updates. I've got a wicked writer's block on me as I told him.

March 30th, 1981
Washington D.C. Hilton Hotel:

Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Scott Westman (D-MT) are leaving the Hilton after giving a joint conference on healthcare reform.  As Westman is leaving the room he notices a tall redhead in the back of the audience......Brea.
Westman: Excuse me Ted, I have to speak with my daughter really quickly.
Kennedy: Take your time Scott, we'll be waiting outside.  Hopefully none of your fans will show up this time.
For the past few weeks there have been protesters showing up to places where Westman was scheduled to be.  The protesters weren't the usual moral crusaders however.  In fact they were mostly union members who were protesting Westman's recommendation to President Crane to fire the air traffic control workers who were in Westman's words "holding this nation hostage."  Commentators around the nation would go into a frenzy over Westman's words, with Dan Rather saying:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Westman: Don't worry about me Ted, I'm bulletproof.
Kennedy: That's what I'm afraid of.
Westman laughs before going to his daughter Brea.
The two meet up and exchange a kiss.
Brea: Father, that was an interesting conference.
Westman: Yes.  Anyway Bee, I have the rest of the day off you want to go shopping in downtown?  I just got a killer return on the market.
Brea: Oh I feel so spoil-
Just then a series of loud blasts was heard.  The aftermath of which resulted in the masses gathered in the lobby of the Hilton to run outside.  On the ground next to the limo was Senator Edward Moore Kennedy of Massachusetts, with blood gushing out of his neck and chest.  It was then that Westman noticed two ominous holes: one in his neck, the other in his sternum.  He then looked up and saw a crazed man being restrained by security.  Then the crazed man started speaking:
Crazed man: NO!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! THIS WASN'T THE WAY THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO GO!!!  WHY!!!!  WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS TEDDY!?  WHY GOD WHY!?
Westman was half way to the crazed man with his hand outstretched when he was stopped by secret service.
Secret Service man: Sir!  Control yourself!  He might be concealing a knife!  I don't want to take two of you to the hospital!
Is was then when Lieutenant Marx Lombardi looked up from where Senator Kennedy lay when he announced:
Lombardi: He might not make it there.  This is rapid blood loss, if he doesn't get to a hospital in the next ten minutes.........
The crazed man spoke again:
I never meant to hurt him!  Never!  He wasn't supposed to come out that way!  It was supposed to be you! (points at Westman in an accusing manner)  You who screwed around behind my beloved's back!  You didn't deserve her you piece of trash!
It was then that Westman knew.
Westman: My god.

March 30, 1981
6:32 PM
Senator Edward Moore Kennedy, a member of the Kennedy dynasty and Senator from Massachusetts, dies from bullet wounds he suffered from an assassination attempt meant for Senator Scott Westman.  He leaves behind his wife Mary Jo Kopenche Kennedy and his two sons and one daughter: Edward Moore Kennedy Jr. (eldest), Robert Frank Kennedy (named after his late brother Robert Kennedy, former US President), and Shelly Marie Kennedy (youngest).  Funeral service will be held on April 1st in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.  The event will be open to the general public.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

You had to leave us hanging there didn't you? Interesting butterfly with Mary Jo Kopechne. I'm guessing this or something else inspires Westman to either run for re-election ar get back into politics at a later date.

[Dr. Cynic]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

[Mechaman]

CNN News:

We have received word of the identification of the Kennedy assassin.  He is a Boulder, Colorado resident by the name of John Hinckley Jr.  Police inspection of his apartment has found lots of memorabilia of actress Jodie Foster, who used to date Montana Senator Scott Westman who was also at the Washington Hilton where the shooting took place.  While being escorted away Hinckley was heard crying aloud "IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE YOU!"

[Mechaman]

April 1st, 1981
Hyannis Port, Massachusetts
The Funeral of Senator Edward M. Kennedy:

Scott and Brea Westman entered the full chapel and made their way down the aisle to the front to take their seats.  Scott sat as the priest began the service.  He watched as a number of people paid their respects to Ted Kennedy.  Finally it came time for him to tribute his late colleague:

Of my friend I can only say this: he was a dedicated public servant.
Then he stepped down from the podium and retook his seat next to Brea.  The one sentence tribute would catch many off guard who were expecting a speech or two from Westman about Edward Kennedy's impact on his life.

After the service:

Scott Westman is conversing with a few guests when he feels a tug on his arm.  He looks down and sees a pretty redhead.  Caroline Kennedy.
Caroline: Senator.  I can't believe we haven't met yet.  Uncle Ted spoke so much about you.
Westman: Please, call me Scott.  Anyway.....great to finally meet you Miss.  Your uncle told me quite a bit about you as well.  His words hardly do you justice.
Caroline giggles.
Caroline: Are you coming onto me Senator?
Westman: No, don't be ridiculous.  By the way I know this great seafood restaurant.............

Through Christian Eyes
September 28th, 1980
Michigan Automotive headquarters:

It was a unique opportunity for Christian Mattingly, the young 31 year old founder of Michigan Automotive.  During hard economic times he had decided to take his army pay and form a Highland Park, MI based automobile company based around good quality cars at a great price.  After finding a few venture capitalists (Michigan Senator Lenore Romney and the late New York Senator William Westman) to fund his startup Christian found himself prospering in the late 70's from 1977-1979.  His newly formed company prided itself on building energy efficient cars in an era when energy conservation was in its infancy.  In the year 1978 Michigan Automotive was named "America's Fastest Growing Business" by Fortune 500.  For a Michigan auto company in the 1970's, his achievements in the field were extraordinary.  At the young age of 30 he already had an estimated net worth of $50 million.  And then suddenly, the market went downhill quickly.
Due to a sudden surge in gas prices, double digit inflation, an unemployment rate that went from 9.2% to 11% and other factors indicative of an economic recession Michigan Automotive suffered economic hardship in 1979 to the present.  Fiscal year 1979 showed a loss of $16 million on the books (Michigan Automotive's net worth was estimated to be $82 million in March 1979).  In the year that followed, 1980, Mattingly found himself suffering yet more economic hardship in relation to his dealership.  Although sales remained stronger than his competition he still found it hard to avoid taking losses month after month.  His company was producing more cars than it was selling.
Unlike other Michigan automotive companies Mattingly refused federal help to meet his company's budget shortfalls.  In the past he would appeal to his sponsors and pay them off at a latter date.  However Lenore Romney had declined further help due to a conflict of interest since her husband was CEO of Ford Car Company.  And William Westman, who was all of 79 years old when he had met the young Christian Mattingly, had passed away.
Which is why Mattingly was pleased to see that Scott Westman, William's grandson and Liberal Vice Presidential candidate, had shown up to hold a rally in front of his headquarters.
Westman: Men like Christian Mattingly are great examples of the new age capitalist pioneers who have succeeded without the help of an overbearing nanny state government.  As your vice president in a Liberal administration I would roll back government intervention in the automotive industry, such as high automotive taxes and regulations that prevent companies from competing freely in the open market.  There is no reason why our American automobile makers should be dependent on the government dole in order to make quality cars for American working men and women.  I myself own a car from Michigan Automotive, a 1978 Phoenix two door sedan that gets 38 miles to the gallon.  I did not misspeak on that figure, it really does get 38 miles to the gallon.  How did Mr. Mattingly achieve this?  By relying on the abilities of skilled American car engineers, not on an overbloated bureaucracy.  And I respect him for it.
Scott Westman steps down from the podium as his trusted advisor Carl Herschelwitz speaks into his ear.
Herschelwitz: I really don't see the point of this campaign stop Scott.  Mattingly has already donated quite a few dollars to Crane and from interviews he has given recently it sounds like he is pretty strong for the Constitution ticket.
Westman: Yeah he is a Republican who is a strong supporter of Phil Crane.  No surprise.  However, his workers...........they just might be sympathetic to a Liberal ticket.  After all, my grandfather is semi-responsible for their jobs in the first place.  I'll see you later Carl.  I have business to take care of.
Herschelwitz: Get to it kid.
Mattingly comes up to the podium and speaks:
It was a great honor to have Senator Westman speak today.  It is obvious that he sees eye to eye with this great company on the purpose of free enterprise in this nation and a supporter of laissez faire economics.  Thank you for coming today sir.
Westman gets back on the stage and shakes Christian Mattingly's hand.  After the rally the two men go inside Michigan Automotive's headquarters to Mattingly's office to talk.
Mattingly: You do realize that your speech won't really help you that much here right?  I have already and will continue to endorse Phil Crane.  However, I might be open to giving a little your way since you, unlike the three other tickets, went out of your way to show up here.
Westman: That could work.  By the way, I got something for ya.
Westman pulls out a checkbook and writes down a six digit number.  Mattingly waves Westman off.
Mattingly: Please Senator, this is not necessary.  That is an excessive number besides.
Westman: Please Christian, my grandfather had a lot of faith in this company.  This is some of the money he left in my estate.  I believe it is only fair, since he put capital into this company he cared so much about, that I do the same.  Please take it.
Mattingly takes the check and then shakes Westman's hand.
Mattingly: Thank you Senator.  I won't forget this.
Westman: You better not.  See you another time.
Despite political differences Scott Westman had won Christian Mattingly's respect.  However, such respect would be just as easy to lose..........

November 2nd, 1980:
Christian Mattingly is watching the news at his home in Highland Park
CNN News reports that Senator Scott Westman is having an affair.......
Mattingly: Old news........
with a transsexual model from Los Angeles.
Mattingly, on hearing the news, spews his Coca-Cola all over the living room table.  His wife Cynthia comes into the room.
Cynthia: Is there a problem Christian?
Mattingly: Yes, I have lost all respect I had for Scott Westman.
Cynthia: Why?
Mattingly: Because he started railing a tranny.
Cynthia: Big deal.  It could be worse, at least he's not driving that gawdawful Volkswagen van he had a few years baaaaaaaaAAAAAAGHHHHH!
It was then that she read the news item.
Cynthia: THAT SON OF A BIT...
Christian put his hand on his wife's mouth.
Mattingly: Please sweetie, you're too beautiful to be cursing........THAT SON OF A BITCH!
Cynthia laughs.

Awesome updates all around. Christian Mattingly makes his entrance.

November 4th, 1980
Scranton, Pennsylvania
Christian Church of Scranton voting place:

19 year old Han Phan is in the voting booth for the first time.  However, unlike most people his age he found himself very divided who to vote for.  As a 1st generation Vietnamese American, his family had come over to the United States in late 1960 to flee communist oppression.  Eventually, the Vietnamese people would overthrow Communist rule in 1962 thanks to US aid.  This wouldn't be found out until 1975.  Thanks to legislation pushed by Senators Birch Bayh and Frank Church young adults (lowering the age from 21 to 17) like Han gained the right to vote in 1968.
Han, a self-described "Goldwater Republican" (after the hawkish conservative Barry Goldwater, senator from Arizona) was undecided between voting Republican and Constitution Party.  For one his whole family were Republicans, so naturally he would lean toward the Republican candidate.  However, the Republican ticket this year sought to gut defense spending and bring the US back into isolationism, something Han opposed.  However, the Constitution Party had a bad history behind it...having it's roots in the Dixiecratic movement.  He briefly considered giving a vote to the Classic Liberal ticket but couldn't get himself to vote for it.  He liked Senator Westman despite his Democratic Party identification, but he just didn't have it in him to vote for a ticket that (after recent revelations) was doomed.
Very hard choice indeed.  The Republican Party, though it embraced people like Han's family for over a century, was becoming a stranger party to Han.  He believed in the free market beliefs of Beauregard D'Israeli, that much was certain, but he disagreed with his rhetoric and behavior.  THere had never been any presidential candidate (since William Bryan at least) that went out of their way to alienate voters like D'Israeli did.  Being raised in a christian home Phan couldn't stand the anti-christian rhetoric of D'Israeli.  It was almost as bad as when the Constitution Party bashed Catholics in 1972 and 1976: divisive ignorant language that would only be used by True Scotsmen who wish to purify the party of "undesirables".
Although he had a lot of misgivings for the Constitution Party he felt that Philip Crane was a good man.  He felt that with a President Crane the Constitution Party would denounce it's racist past and begin to appeal to openminded conservative and libertarian leaning voters.  So he would take a chance on Crane and pray for the best.  It didn't matter that his runningmate was a illiterate retard (then again a lot of people compared to Han Phan, who was fluent in a dozen different languages, would be considered illiterate).  What the hell was Helms going to do besides yell racial epithets and jokes in the US Senate chamber anyway?  As long as no harm came to Crane the nation would be better off than it was for the past 12 years.
So he cast his vote for the Constitution Party.

Thus began the story of Han Phan.

Warning: Sappy Bullsh*t up ahead

April 3rd, 1981
Dave's Seafood Bar and Grill
7:32 PM:

Scott Westman is at the local seafood place with his date Caroline Kennedy, his late friend Ted Kennedy's niece.
Westman: So tell me Caroline, what is it that you do?
Caroline: Oh well I'm an investigative journalist.  Right now I am working as a contributor to Rolling Stone Magazine.
Westman: That's very fascinating (Westman actually despises Rolling Stone Magazine, with almost every fiber of his being).  I occasionally read Rolling Stone Magazine (before he goes on a rant to his friends about how retarded the contributors are), very interesting magazine (loads of joke material to tell his fellow progressive rock fan friends).
Caroline: Well I'm glad you like it.  It's weird though, uncle Ted seemed to not like it that much.  Actually he called it a "flying blue piece of crap mag written by angst filled music elitists".
Westman laughs aloud, of course Ted would think so.  Wise man.
Westman: That's your uncle I guess.  He always did have interesting (good) taste in literature.
Caroline: You're lying through your teeth aren't you?
Westman blushes.
Westman: Aww shucks!  Alright I think it's a pretty bad magazine.  But since I found out you write for it my opinion has suddenly changed.
Caroline blushes.
Caroline: That's really sweet of you to say Scott.  I wish I had met men who were as much of a gentlemen as you.
Westman: Hey do you want to go see a movie later?
Caroline: But there is nothing new out.....
Westman: I mean at my place.
Caroline throws her napkin on the table, gets up, and pushes her chair in.
Caroline: Apparently you have misjudged my character Mister Westman, I'm not the type of gir.....
Westman: Now just hold on a sec let me assure you I wasn't thinking of you know what dear.  I was just thinking you know we could find a place to sit back and relax and watch a movie.  I wouldn't dream of taking advantage of you Caroline.  I don't want to damage your reputation.  You got an image to uphold.
Caroline: As do you.
The snark reply caught Westman off guard.  Granted, he did spend a lot of time sleeping around with many women since Laura left him.  His lifestyle was definitely more freewheeling than most other US Congressmen.  His lifestyle was one that would inevitably carry a bad reputation as nothing more than a taxpayer funded leech that took pride in enjoying excess.  It was a miracle that a woman of high social standing as Caroline Kennedy even considered going out with him the more he thought about it.
He puts his arms on her shoulders.
Westman: Listen, I really like you Caroline.  Just tell me what I have to do to win your favor.
Caroline: Alright.  Stop sleeping around.  You're better than that I know it.  Once I'm convinced that you are indeed a noble man who can refrain from indulging continuously in pleasures of the flesh...then you will have won my favor.
Damn, this feels like Medieval Times.
Westman: Alright, I can do that.  For you I can.  Now how about that movie?
Caroline giggles.
Caroline: I guess a harmless little movie isn't out of the question.  What's showing?
Westman: Goldfinger.
Caroline: A classic.  I love classics.
The two walk out of the restaurant and head back to Westman's apartment.  They get into his living room and begin watching when Brea comes out of the back bedroom wearing one of Westman's t-shirts and some shorts.  She sits comes over to the couch and curls up onto Westman's lap.
Westman: I hope you don't mind Caroline.  My daughter is a bit under the weather lately.
At this point most women pass a moment of judgement upon Scott Westman's affection toward his daughter.  Caroline Kennedy, having lost her father at the young age of three to Addisons, couldn't get herself to.  She would've given anything in the whole world to have had a father's love for as long as this lucky girl.  She felt so happy for Brea Westman, to have a father to be so affectionate toward.  She shed a tear.
Caroline: (hushed voice) No it's perfectly alright.
Brea Westman would fall asleep half way into the movie in her father's arms.  Caroline turned toward Westman.
Caroline: You know, this is really sweet of you to do for her.
Westman: Well I mean she hasn't been feeling one hundred percent lately I figure I might as well you know comfort her while she recovers and well she's my little angel.
Caroline begins sobbing.  Westman suddenly understood why.
Westman: Oh geez Caroline.  I didn't mean to-
Caroline: It's quite alright.  I just wish I could have what she has.
Westman throws his arm around her.
Westman: Well you might not have the father but you can have the Scott.
Caroline snuggles her head into Westman's chest.
Caroline: Well, you got a point there I guess.

Three hours later
Scott Westman has just dropped Caroline Kennedy off at her hotel.
Westman: Good luck out there kid.  Journalism isn't a very pretty field to get into.  Well, I guess I'll see you later.
Westman gives her a hug and turns back toward his 1978 Micauto Phoenix when Caroline grabs his arm.  He turns around and faces her as she pulls his head down and gives him a kiss.
Westman has a huge grin on his face.
Caroline: Oh you will see me later.

The romantic relationship that brewed between Scott Westman and Caroline Kennedy would inevitably impact the two American dynasties of Westman and Kennedy.

[Mechaman]

April 4th, 1981
A Phone Conversation:

Herschelwitz: You what?!
Westman: I mean it was a most excellent night man.  She is such a sweet girl.
Herschelwitz: Scott Scott, don't you see the possible ramifications?
Westman: What the press will suddenly like me?
Carl facepalms.
Herschelwitz: Awww dude......wow.
Westman: What?  I wasn't aware that having a relationship with someone as non-controversial as Caroline Kennedy could possibly be a bad thing.
Herschelwitz: It's not really that man, just the fact that you two hooked up like two days after her uncle's funeral maybe.  It doesn't matter how real or sincere you feel about her, the press is going to eat it up, digest it, and then use accusations of using the funeral to your advantage to score with a Kennedy and then crap all over your career.  You will be painted as the Ultimate Career Opportunist faster than you can say "Waffle House".
Westman: Don't you mean "Awful House"? Hurr Durr!
Herschelwitz: You're hilarious Funny Man.  Just keep this underwraps as long as possible.  The press probably already knows you two have been on a date so just act like you two were having dinner together.  Wait at least a month before going out in public.  Because if your relationship does become public before then it's just going to look like you two are seeing each other because of the combined political clout of your family names.
Westman: Kind of like arranged marriages right?
Herschelwitz: Yeah pretty much.  Also, how serious are you about staying away from you know what?
Westman: Pretty serious.  I really like this girl Carl.
Herschelwitz: That's what you say about every woman you take a liking to you know?  Seriously Scott.  You're like 35 freaking years old.  In politics that is preschooler years.
Westman: In real life not so much.  Plus, my daughter is like 17 freaking years old.  Given that I am about to send a kid to college does that make me look like I can afford to be carefree anymore, eh?
Herschelwitz: This ain't Canada boy, no need to add an "eh" to the end of the sentence.  Anyway, let's end this convo now before I start telling you about my deepest darkest pornography fetishes.
Westman: Like short chicks with clowns?
Herschelwitz: Yeah kind of how you like chicks with [beep].
Westman hangs up the phone.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I'm kind of confused here, but my guess is:
You either are using a 1980's version of Han, who is here on this forum, or...
Han is really like forty in real life.
I'm not sure, but I'm hoping the first one.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I also like how Westman is a Progressive Rock fan, but he can't get off insulting Led Zeppelin like that. It's just not right. I mean, next thing he'll be insluting the Doors, Blue Oyster Cult, Jefferson Airplane, and God knows what else.

Also, I have a YES album in my signature.

Hoooray!!! Awesome updates.

Nah, actually he's at least 100 years old
