Never liked him much in Law & Order.

Thats the only role that got him nominated for an award. Otherwise he has a goose egg.

Yeah, we know. If it ain't Stalin you're not interested. As far as the Senator he was a heck of a good actor. I liked him in Law and Order.

Guy, the point was, he got all you Conservatives worked up, but he was really just running as a stalking horse for his buddy JOhn McCain, to keep conservative support from drifting to Romney or Huckabee.

It amazes me you guys let yourselves get fooled like that. Of course, 2008 is when I STOPPED letting myself get fooled by the right.

He wasn't THAT good of an actor. He basically played one character. A good actor is one who can play ANY character and completely disappears into the role.

He played one Character - "Good Old Boy Authority Figure". and if he had good writers like Dick Wolf, he sounded pretty good.

2008 is what happened when Dick Wolf wasn't writing for him, and it wasn't pretty.

Don't want to dump on the guy now that he's dead, but you all on the right thought he was the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan, which he wasn't.

Wow, a "stalking horse" for McCain? Talk about getting worked up.

why do we think criticizing people should stop when they die?

Because it's disrespectful and serves no purpose other than to show your a fairly petty person.

OR it serves the purpose of putting that person in the proper perspective.

Thompson was an ineffective senator.
He scammed a lot of old people into getting reverse mortgages.
The bad stuff he did doesn't become less bad because he's taking a dirt nap.

Can't say I thought much of his politics, but he was good on Law and Order. RIP.

Why do you assume he's a Liberal? I've seen worse written about Republicans from so-called 'Conservatives' on Drudge and Brietbart.

Why do some always feel the need to be an asshole when someone they don't agree with politically dies?

I don't know - explain it to us when Jimmy Carter finally dies.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

i thought he was older.

Not as old as Bernie Sanders.
