Tommy the T to Host Radiao Show with Don Imus?

Tommy Thompson has this to say to his potential Jewish voters:

Former Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential hopeful Tommy Thompson told Jewish activists Monday that making money is "part of the Jewish tradition," and something that he applauded.

Speaking to an audience at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington D.C., Thompson said that, "I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money. You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition and I do not find anything wrong with that." Thompson later apologized for the comments that had caused a stir in the audience, saying that he had meant it as a compliment, and had only wanted to highlight the "accomplishments" of the Jewish religion.



Tommy then apologized with:

"What I was referring to, ladies and gentlemen, is the accomplishments of the Jewish religion. You've been outstanding business people and I compliment you for that."


Here is a some good advice for Tommy in the future...

Many proud Wisconsinites may wish to apologize for the stupidity of our former Gov, however as I have pointed out before, he is no longer one of us. Virginia or Washington or wherever is welcome to have him.

As I recall most people from Wisconsin can spell the word radio. We apologize for you all the time. Are you attempting to be literate? Fat chance!
