Ermes Effron Borgnine, RIP

I heard whispers that Ernest Borgnine was a rare conservative in Hollywood, but never really came out of the proverbial "closet" as such.
Nothing in the posted obit indicates this at all.

Well, really, it has nothing to do with his acting ability. I thought he was a wonderful (though not great) actor.

Yeah, I loved him in The Wild Bunch, but he was a good second banana in the series "Airwolf."
