Backdoor Politics

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 facility, treating Hinckley , reports to have intercepted this past weekend:


To: John Hinckley

From: John McCain

My wife Cindy 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 non partisan consensus of compassion and forgiveness throughout.

My wife 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: While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. Just thought you should know.

Your site looks great today, but when will you stop the unfunny Obama "humor"? I didn't vote for him, but the election is over. Your site would be much more credible if you could do away with this sort of thing all together. The photos in the next post are fabulous. So Are the other pieces, except this one.

He's been allowed to "raom freely" for several years now. He can pretty much come & go as he pleases...like on "work release" except, he's not in prison.

More advocacy for killing the President presented as a 'joke'. The right wing needs to fix their hate issues.

That's pretty tasteless. Keep up the jokes about assassinating the president. Here a county official gets shot at an ATM and you're encouraging someone to shoot Obama.

your right it is tasteless, everyone knows its all the lead democratic thugs {and 75% of those he just appointed}that need to be assassinated in order to save this country.

Liberals do not, as a rule, have a sense of humor. For 8 years WE had to listen to them bash Bush. Well, now it is our turn. We at least know a joke when we see one. Like the one at 1600 now.

Oh please.
Didn't the Democrats listen to 8 years of the Republicans bashing Clinton before the tables turned on Bush?
There's those short memories again.

Look folks, this happens after EVERY election when the other party wins the White House. Get over yourselves and find something more positive to do with all that energy you use bashing others.
This country would be a much better place if everyone would work together instead of being divided.

I'm a proud "lefty", and I would find any "joke" about assassinating the POTUS (Republican or Democrat) just as tasteless.

You guys should really get your heads checked.
