Subject: Hinckley to be released-McCain writes letter
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man
who shot President Reagan in the early 1980s. Hinckley was absolutely
obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster, extremely jealous, and in his
twisted mind, loved Jodie Foster to the point that to make himself well
known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan. There is
speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been rehabilitated.
Consequently, you may appreciate the following letter from John McCain
that the staff at the mental facility, treating Hinckley , reports to
have intercepted this past weekend:
To: John Hinckley
From: John McCain
My wife and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased
we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery.
In our fine country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want
you to know there is a non partisan consensus of compassion and
forgiveness throughout.
My wife Cindy and I want you to know that no grudge is borne against
you for shooting President Reagan. We, above all, are aware of how the
mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of
desperation. We are confident that you will soon make a complete
recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy
and productive young man.
Best Wishes,
John and Cindy McCain
PS: While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. Just thought you should know.
