Sarah Palin's chief of staff blasted Michele Bachmann strategist Ed Rollins today after Rollins criticized the former Alaska governor and suggested to POLITICO that his candidate would benefit by comparison to her

"Beltway political strategist Ed Rollins has a long, long track record of taking high profile jobs and promptly sticking his foot in his mouth," said Sarah PAC chief of staff Michael Glassner in an emailed statement. "To no one's surprise he has done it again, while also fueling a contrived narrative about the presidential race by the mainstream media. One would expect that his woodshed moment is coming and that a retraction will be issued soon."

Oh wonderful. The best two conservatives in the group are fighting. This does not bold well for 2012.....I believe this primary is going to be bloody. I just hope that someone makes it out alive.

[Paladin2]

Rollins needs to make a weener withdrawal.

...while also fueling a contrived narrative about the presidential race by the mainstream media.

And there you have it.

[no dems]

PLEASE, PALIN PEOPLE..... Do not allow Ed Rollins to pull you into a public fight like a bunch of Red Necks in a West Virgina beer joint. When your enemy is committing suicide, stay out of it.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Bachman needs to dump this moron.

[Logical me]

Bachmann is ruining her chances with this turd.

One would expect that his woodshed moment is coming and that a retraction will be issued soon."

Yeah. Don't bet the farm on that.

[Covenantor]

Counter fire by Glassner!

Game On!

Rollins will be the kiss of death for Bachmann, just watch.

Very disappointed she hired this loser, and if she doesn’t correct that error soon I’ll be close to writing her off. I know she is the candidate, not Rollins - but this says a lot about her judgement.

[CondorFlight]

Palin would be wiser not to reply to a lot of this stuff...

(and I wouldn’t doubt that the media intends to try and provoke some of it...)

[C. Edmund Wright]

I agree - Palin and company should remain silent. This will help Palin in the current battle (if she’s even running) - the battle for the nomination — without her team having to lift a finger.

[cripplecreek]

I notice that Pro Mitt Pollutico seems to take particular joy in promoting fights among the most conservative of candidates.

[LaybackLenny]

Bachmann is ruining has ruined her chances with this turd.

There...fixed it for ya.

[drypowder]

Ed Rollins is like a Carl Rove light and a DC insider. Proof; he still gets invited to the MSM Sunday news talk shows.

Ladies, do NOT allow them to put you in a cat fight.

Both of your bases are more intelligent than to attribute any negative 'campaigning' to personal affronts.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Notice - she attacked Rollins, NOT Michelle.

[vbmoneyspender]

Ed Rollins is the very definition of a loose cannon. After Michael Huffington hired him to run his Senate campaign in California, Rollins trashed him in the media after Huffington lost.

Rollins is not trustworthy and he has demonstrated that he will bite the hand that feeds him. So any Republican politician that hires him needs to have their head examined

[skeeter]

what you said.

Its the principles, folks. Not the personalities.
