Anti-Gay Remark Blamed On Dodgy Bowels And Ears

Republican Presidential Candidate Tommy Thompson Explains Gay Rights Remark

Yes, it is true that Republican candidate Tommy Thompson said that an employer should be allowed to fire someone for being gay, but he didn’t really mean it. Apparently he was absolutely busting to go to the bathroom and he just said the first thing that came to his mind. And if people don’t believe that one, he has a backup excuse: His hearing aid battery was flat, and he didn’t hear the question properly. So, if Tommy manages to win through to the Presidency, we can expect an upgrade to the White House bathroom facilities (i.e. a lot more of them put in) and a big heap of fresh batteries to be kept in every room.
