A Republican I kinda liked.  Too bad he never had a chance at POTUS.

yeah, you guys stick with the politics and I'm over here all sad because now Bruce Willis doesn't have a sane person to deal with when the evil terrorists take over Dulles. :(

That sucks. I liked him both as an actor and politician, and he seemed to be a genuinely good human being . RIP.

Going to be missed on so many fronts.  Loved him in Law and Order.

Had good taste in girlfriends, too. ;)

He had some good lines in his stump speeches for president. "A cat will never sit on a hot stove twice. But it won't sit on a cold one, either."

^ Originally Mark Twain, I think, but it really doesn't matter.

Sorry to hear of his passing.  A "good Joe," in my book.  RIP.

He would have been a great President, in the mold of Reagan.
Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson was given this slogan by 2008 pundits: “”Kill the terrorists. Protect the border. Punch the hippies.”

Whether he was a good politician or not, he will be missed.
