Hinckley is to be released:

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 20 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 new spirit of
understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know there is
a bilateral 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: Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a
screen door in a hurricane. Thought you should know.
