Republican Presidential candidate Tommy Thompson says he was distracted during a debate question about civil rights for gays. He answered that firing gays should be left up to the business owner. He's since backtracked and says there were a lot of things distracting him from the question at the time:- A dead hearing aid
- An urgent need to use the bathroom
- A case of the flu
- Oh, and bronchitis, too
- Just got out of a hospital emergency room three days prior to the May 3 debate
No word on if his dog ate his talking points. (Pawtucket Times)
