Jodie Foster as John Hinkley remembers her

Hinckley 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 f*cking Jodie Foster. We just
thought you should know.

Some of my readers may recall getting the exact same email but supposedly about the Clintons when they were being investigated by Ken Starr and ending this way:

Best Wishes

Bill Clinton

P.S. Ken Starr is dorking Jodie Foster

Before the Internet, Xerox copies of exactly the same text were circulated in 1984 supposedly from Ronald Reagan and ending with "By the way, did you know that both Walter Mondale and Gary Hart have been f*cking Jodie Foster?"

I have no doubt that similar humor was around when politicians in ancient Rome were running against Caesar and graffiti on street walls announced, "Britannus Caesarae magnus cinaedus et fellator est suris apertis. (Caesar's slave Britannus is a big fag and a fellator with his legs open. )

As King Solomon observed, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
