I don't think anyone is going to prank Senator Thompson's death. He had lymphoma. He was 73.

He was around before the term RINO had even been invented.

Mr. Thompson, 73, died on Sunday from after a recurrence of lymphoma, according to a statement issued from the Thompson family.

“It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family,” the statement reads.

SO SAD!
