August 27, 2003 -- RONALD Reagan's would-be assassin, John Hinckley Jr., is seeking greater freedom, but the former president's daughter, Patti Davis, hopes he rots in the psycho ward. Responding to the news that Hinckley wants to be allowed unsupervised furloughs from his hospital, Davis told PAGE SIX: "In the late '80s - when they were trying to get him out on supervised visits - it was discovered that he was pen pals with [serial killer] Ted Bundy and Charles Manson." Shockingly, Hinckley - who shot Reagan, crippled James Brady and killed a Secret Service agent in 1981 to impress a young Jodie Foster - has been allowed to make supervised visits to friends and family since 1999. Davis thinks his latest request is part of a plan to win his eventual release. She asked: "Is there some valuable part of John Hinckley that society is missing out on?" Davis has written an opinion piece for newsweek.com that further expresses her feelings.

When the let Sirhan Sirhan have his freedom, they can let the would be assassin of Ronald Reagan have his freedom.

In other words, NEVER.

Any truth to the rumor that Jodie Foster is currently "dating" Dr. Dean?
Just asking!

"...killed a Secret Service agent"

I thought the agent was wounded, not killed.

REAGAN'S DAUGHTER RIPS HINCKLEY BID

From the title I thought that maybe Hinckley had declared his intention to run for governor of California.

You're right. He didn't die. His name is Tim McCarthy. In the news video, he's the one who spins around after he's hit.

But Sirhan is much more dangerous. He targeted a Democrat, and we can't have that happening now, can we? <\sarcasm>
