Tenson Between David Vitter and Bobby Jindal?

Louisiana political analyist Jeff Crouere wrote a piece on Senator Vitter. There is a part I wish to highlight.

One interesting aspect of Vitter’s news conference was the curious timing, for it was scheduled at 5:05 p.m. for a reason. It was designed to maximize Vitter’s news coverage and also to completely overshadow the gubernatorial announcement of Congressman Bobby Jindal (R-Kenner). While Vitter was greeting a media horde in Metairie, Jindal was arriving in Kenner for his long planned campaign kick-off. Vitter literally moved Jindal off of the front pages and this move infuriated many of the congressman’s supporters. It clearly showed the division in the Louisiana Republican Party between the U.S. Senator and his supporters and those who view Congressman Jindal as the top Republican in the state

You can tell looking through my blog that I am supporting Vitter as he goes through this drama. However, I have mentioned that some Republican leadership in DC are not too fond of how Vitter grabs the spotlight and is not a "team player". This is a prime example of this right here. I was pretty shocked that Senator Vitter decided to do this on Bobby's big day.

However
Possibly, Vitter’s move was a payback for Jindal’s tepid statement last weekend offering prayers to the Senator, yet signaling his disappointment with the sordid behavior.

Yep that is true. Disappointment is fine . We were all disappointed. However, the Jindal campaign scrubbing their campaign website at that time of Vitter Endorsement blurbs was not great either. This was all documented by a Louisiana democrat blogger here.

The Vitter insult will likely not be forgotten by the Jindal campaign anytime soon. It was an intentional and unnecessary effort designed to eclipse the congressman’s campaign kick-off. It showed Vitter’s unhappiness with the strong support Jindal has within the Louisiana GOP, as he must now realize the he now longer represents the brightest star among Louisiana Republicans, as undoubtedly the Kenner congressman is the most popular figure within the state party.

Ugghh children please!!! Louisiana Republicans always can be counted to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by going into a circular firing squad.
