Thompson had that iconic line in “Hunt for Red October” when he described rapidly rising tensions between the US and Russia. Ironically he said “this business will get out of hand and we’ll be lucky to live through it.” Well he won’t be here to see if we do.

This is the guy I wanted to be our nominee in 2008. He was way better of a choice than John McCain.

I will never forgive the former hero and EX-Marine John Glen for sabotaging the Thompson sub-committee hearings just so he could get a ride on the space shuttle.
what a scumbag.
All respect lost for that man, regardless.

Agreed - Maybe Fred knew that his health was too fragile to hang tough to win the nomination.

This guy was truly presidential. I would have loved to see him go up against Putin.
