Baton Rouge, La. — An internal struggle for leadership of Louisiana's Republican Party, its agenda and its influence between U.S. Sen. David Vitter and Gov. Bobby Jindal, has quietly seethed behind the scenes of the GOP. Now, it's spilling increasingly into public view.

Vitter launched an offensive against Jindal's backing of expensive New Orleans public hospital plans, and most recently the two GOP leaders have been scuffling over their sway in this fall's legislative elections.

Louisiana's Republican senator made comments suggesting Jindal hasn't been forceful enough in pushing a conservative agenda, and the only slightly-veiled criticism is clearly hitting Jindal in a sensitive spot in an election year.

The state's top Republican officials have had a frosty relationship for years, since Vitter's 2007 prostitution scandal. Jindal made it obvious he didn't want the stigma of the scandal to blemish his own reputation.

Pretty damn pathetic pair of RepubliCon so-called 'leaders.'

No doubt they are jock-eying to see who can take the Louisiana RePubbies to the very bottom of the cesspool they are already in...
