Didn't even watch the news or log on the net yesterday at all so this news comes as a complete shock to me.  It saddens me, heck, just a few days ago I saw him in one of those reverse mortgage commercials.  Loved him in The Hunt for Red October.  Prayers for his family and friends, RIP, Senator Thompson.
