Michael Vick ain't from no Deep South

Whoopi, I am pleased you have succeeded "Ro," on The View, but on your first day you have to go and defend Michael Vick? So much for geographical correctness. Perhaps Miss South Carolina was referring to the new host when she said, "uh, some people, out there in our nation don't have maps."

"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," she said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country."

I'm sorry, but Blacksburg, VA isn't exactly the Deep South. He went to Warwick High in Newport News, VA. That's southeast of Richmond and north of Chesapeake. These people don't have accents! Nor do they dog-fight!

Va Tech in Blacksburg where he played in college brings you a little closer to West Virginia and Kentucky, but that borders more on scary incestuous farms and families in need of a visit to the dental hygienist, again, not the "deep south" and dog fighting.

The deep south is Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina. And even though Virginia was a southern state in the Civil War- it is not considered "deep" and would rather annex itself and join Washington, D.C.

So as to defending Michael Vick- it's not a cultural thing. It's a gang thing.

To excuse him because it's a cultural thing from his part of the country is unacceptable. Maybe if he were from Russia in the mid-1990s!! The felony Vick committed was immature and stupid, and he deserves the punishment for it. Cultural, please!

In the meantime, let's get Whoopi a map!
