Oh, boy. The wife of Washington County Republican Chairman Willie Billings had some choice words for gay Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger.

Karger visited Utah last week and met up with Billings and gave him some Karger campaign parephenalia. However when he took them home, his wife Nanette was not happy. From Yahoo News:

When Billings brought the souvenirs home, however, his wife, Nanette Billings, threw them in the garbage and fired off an email to Karger, calling him "a radical idiot" and saying "thank goodness" he "cant procreate."

Billings confirmed that she sent the email through Karger's website.

"My feeling is the only reason he's running for president is to find more [sexual] partners," Nanette Billings told Yahoo News in a phone interview. "To get more people on his bandwagon."

"All I did was go on his site and say, 'You're pathetic,'" she said. "We're a very conservative state in Utah, very family-oriented. So he's picked a state just to cause ruckus. He's not thinking of family, he's thinking of himself. He's not running for president to fix something in the country—he's thinking of his own personal agenda, period. And I was just letting him know that I think he's an idiot to think of running."
