Yet the bad ones somehow manage to stick around well into their extremely old age and make life for the rest of us a living hell...
Fred, thanks for what you did while you were here.
May you rest in peace in God.
My Mom recognized him right away(she is not good with names only with faces) so as soon as I showed her a picture she couldnt believe it..still so young(I know, 73 isnt really considered young but he was in no way old) just a real shame, good man..one heck of an actor..and a just all around good guy. Will check out that movie you mentioned I like Kevin Costner as well
Prayers for his family. He always had an amazing voice. Sounds odd but, I liked him but his voice was one that remind me of my Grandad.
This is very saddening. I voted for Fred in 2008. He was one of the good guys in the DC. He knew Hillary and her ways from his youth. He will be missed. RIP, Fred.
“Right, Jesse?”
RIP
Darn it! I liked him. Still think he would have been a good president. Will add him and his family/friends to my evening prayers.
There were some good times on FR back then too.
Fred will definitely be missed.
Good news! YouTube has the movie for free.
Again, it’s an excellent spy thriller.
No Way Out (1987) - Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Fred Thompson:

Awesome thanks so much will check it out for sure!
Weren’t they good times? And we would freep with Tony Snow, remember that? It seems a hundred years ago...
Fred was a gem. A man. An American.
God Bless FT. You will be missed.
I was thinking the same thing.
I believe Huckabee was an establishment plant to keep Thompson from winning the Southern primaries. Huckabee and Thompson split the conservative votes.
Sad news. Thank you for your service to our country and for your great acting. Rest in peace.
Prayers extended for his family and friends.
That is a shame. I was just talking about him with family the other day.
“Maybe...but the asshole who is in there now, wouldn’t have been.”
Would have been a lot better.
Even McCain would have been. And Palin would have been veep.
Still bothers me if I think about it hoe the McCain buffoons squandered the lead Palin gave them.
RIP, Fred! I voted for you!
RIP; however, remember he gave us Justice Roberts...
