My dad of all people sent me this email this morning. Seems to be a joke circulating the email chains.
John Hinckley's pending release from prison a must read. . .
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who
... shot President Reagan in 1981. Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie
star Jodie Foster and, in his twisted mind, loved Jodie 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 will appreciate the following letter from
Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley. We could all learn so much from this elegant
and gracious lady:
To: John Hinckley
From Mrs. Nancy Reagan
My family 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 country's
spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know that we bear no
grudge against you for shooting Ronnie.
We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have driven you to such
an act of desperation. We're confident that you will soon make a complete
recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and
productive man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & Family
P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie
Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that.
