You may 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 and the staff at the mental facility treating Hinckley reports to have received:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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 hurricane. You might want to look into that.

Very true - besides, I have seen many jokes here which are much more raunchy and offensive....Dan, Jen, you guys know I love ya, but I must disagree - joke is a joke.

I would bet my GMT IIc that they never joked about assassinating George W or Clinton. Any takers?

The OP is simply

. People who liked this "joke" didn't laugh, they smirked. Very unfortunate.

distasteful, but i had to laugh at the crudeness and insensitivity of the thread.

ijen0311 · 18 September 2009, 12:37 AM

I get where it's going, but our President deserves a certain level of respect (whether you like him or not).

I don't think the joke was all that funny... but offensive? Geez, Bush took a LOT more abuse than that and no one ever batted an eye over it! Double standard anyone?

Not here they didn't.

And that's the point.

It's not joking about the President that is objectionable. We have a long tradition of that here. It's joking about assassination of him that's the problem.

onkyo · 21 September 2009, 11:55 PM

Well, it is in the jokes section..... and I did laugh (call me a sicko

)

AWATCH · 22 September 2009, 12:18 AM
