Thompson offers apology on gay comment


Tommy Thompson cited a dead hearing aid and an urgent need to use the bathroom in explaining on Saturday why he said at a GOP presidential debate that an employer should be allowed to fire a gay worker.

Speaking to reporters after giving an address at the state GOP convention, Thompson also said he was suffering from the flu and bronchitis and had been admitted to a hospital emergency room three days prior to the May 3 debate.

"Nobody knows that," Thompson said. "I've been very sick. ... I was very sick the day of the debate. I had all of the problems with the flu and bronchitis that you have, including running to the bathroom. I was just hanging on. I could not wait until the debate got off so I could go to the bathroom."

This is not Thompson's first apology or explanation for the remark. The day after the debate, Thompson said he was sorry and that he had misinterpreted the question because he didn't hear it properly.

But on Saturday, Thompson elaborated by saying he has lost hearing in one ear and that his hearing aid battery for the other ear had gone dead.

6. I'd have guessed constipation...

since Thompson's obviously full of crap.

8. Diarrhea of the mouth is the only thing he was suffering from.

9. Anyone who uses a hearing aid knows

that an important occasion such as a presidential debate would warrant installing new batteries prior to the event. If Thompson hadn't considered such things for a debate, how might he perform at, say, a summit meeting?

10. Sh*t backing up into his brain could explain it all....

11. He went to the hospital to have his head removed from his ass.

According to doctors, the operation wasn't successful.

12. Well well.. we now have the "son of twinkie defense"..the "poopy defense"

Like anyone cares WHAT Tommy Thompson thinks.. He was an ineffectual schlub before, and no matter how many time he flushes, he'll still be a schlub..

Say G'bye Tommy..and just go home ..
