Bill Johnson Sperm Scandal: Former Alabama Gubernatorial Candidate 'Obsessed' With Sperm Donation

Source: Huffington Post

Back in 2010, conservative politician Bill Johnson (R-Ala.) was focused on running for the governor. Two years later, his wife claims he is moving to the other side of the world to fancy a different lifestyle.

In a Sunday interview with the New Zealand Herald, Kathy Johnson told the newspaper that her husband has returned to the southwestern Pacific island where he made headlines in December 2011 for allegedly donating sperm to lesbian couples.

"He is obsessed with this," the former Miss America finalist told the Herald. "He doesn't want to stop."

"I will not chase him to the other side of the world so he can be a part-time father to children he created with other women," she said.

over the span of a couple of months. The chronology isn't clear but sometime in this his wife had a hysterectomy and thus could not conceive.

Now in the name of 'helping others conceive' he is donating at a rate to possible have dozens of offspring?

Something seems more than a bit off with him.

I hope they all know who provided their donor sperm before they get old enough to start dating.

He and his "then" wife were neighbors of ours and we would dine with them pretty much weekly along with a few other neighbors. They have since divorced, and he moved to Montgomery, married the former beauty queen and ran for governor.

Back when we knew him he was very Romney-like, very plastic and empty. Well, I guess he wasn't totally empty, as we now know he was full of, er, sperm. His wife had a lot more personality, and I imagine the split was due to his politics among other things. I'm not surprised he's gone around the bend, or coming around the mountain as it were.

hmm. this look like he has a fetish beyond hypocrisy, if Johnson opposes gay marriage.
