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. [...]
"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."
Even if we believe that story, why the fuck would we elect a person who couldn't realize that maybe... just maybe... you should go to the bathroom before a nationally televised debate?
Just drop out now, save your money.
Goddamn if the Republicans aren't self-distructing.
