Goodbye Fred Thompson, actor and politician. He was a better actor than he ever was a politician.

Thum dum.

That distinctive face and voice—his was one of those presences that to me was pleasant and seemed eternal. To whatever degree he succeeded as a politician and actor, I admire him for having the drive and energy to tackle those two tough professions.

RIP

He also did Yeoman’s work on Law and Order. Didn’t care for his conservative views, but he was from what I could see, a standup individual. Here’s TO you Thompson. Rest in peace.

“Mr. Thompson compiled a solidly conservative voting record in the Senate, though aides said he showed little enthusiasm for divisive battles over abortion and other issues that motivated the religious right.”

To quote a late great Mr. Berra, “It’s like déjà vu all over again.”

Immensely enjoyable actor.
Too good to be true politician.

He was what he seemed to be. He dropped out of the presidential race early, but I did admire his durability and honesty.

Glass raised-
Clink.
Farewell, Sir.

I wonder if he regretted doing those reverse mortgage ads.
