David Vitter of Louisiana slammed fellow Republican George Voinovich Wednesday for saying the GOP's problems stem from the fact that it is "being taken over by Southerners," calling the Ohio senator "a moderate, really wishy-washy."

Voinovich? The coprolite senator from OH? I had hoped he’d be retired to the dungheap with the rest of the fossilized retired senators.

What part of the south is Donald Trump from? South Bronx? It must be Kojak’s domain Manhattan South.
