Just saw it on the news. He was one of the good guys in politics. And a damn good actor.

Great man, great conservative, and a great loss. I once attended a campaign rally back in 2008 in Las Vegas NV, and got to shake his hand and talk a little politics with him. I contributed quite a bit to his campaign, but he didn't really have the fire in the belly.
I like this quote from AP: Just before leaving the Senate, Thompson told the Associated Press that too much time was spent on meaningless matters and partisan bickering. "On important stuff, where the interests are really dug in on both sides, it's extremely difficult to get anything done," he said at the time.
I'll have to sit down again and watch "The Hunt For Red October"...disregarding the "caterpillar drive" part and some of the Hollywood stuff, it is the most accurate submarine movie (and book) ever made...Thompson plays an Admiral in the movie.
