Tommy Thompson

Leroy M. Martinez of Denver writes:

So Tommy Thompson cited a dead hearing aid and an urgent need to use the bathroom in his explaining at a GOP presidential debate that an employer should be allowed to fire a gay worker. I believe that Mr. Thompson forgot to also add that it was too windy, the sun was in his eyes. and that he was on cough medicine. All of these are all excuses for a stupid remark before you think.

This letter has not been edited.

READER COMMENTS

I completely agree. Thompson made a dumb statement and then attempted to covered it up with an even dumber statement. I hope he doesn't go any further than this.

How can anyone do or say anything, good or bad, to or for or with or about or anything else concerning a gay person without setting himself/herself up for condemnation or a lawsuit. They're more protected than the spotted owl.
