Who doesn't like a joke about the mentally insane

You may have heard that they've released John Hinckley from the mental
facility for unsupervised visits to his parents' home on weekends.
You may remember that John Hinckley shot President Ronald Reagan to
impress the actress Jodi Foster. This is such a nice letter from
President Bush on Hinckley's continued recovery:

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON D.C.

Mr. John Hinckley
St. Elizabeth's Hospital
Washington, DC

Dear John:

Laura and I hope that you are continuing your excellent progress in
recovery from your mental problems. We were pleased to hear that you
are now able to have unsupervised visits with your parents. The staff
at the hospital reports that you are doing fine. I have decided to
seek a second term in office as your president and I would appreciate
your support and the support of your fine parents.

I would hope that if there is anything that you need at the hospital,
you would let us know.

By the way, are you aware that John Kerry is screwing Jodi Foster?

Sincerely,

George W. Bush
President
