Nancy Reagan forgives
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:46 pm
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young
man who shot President Reagan in the early 1980's.
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
Nancy Reagan to the staff at the mental facility treating Hinckley reports
to have intercepted:
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 fine country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to
know there is a nonpartisan consensus of compassion and forgiveness
throughout The Reagan family 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,
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.
Sincerely
