Today Michele Bachmanns spokesman, Ed Rollins, whom she recently hired, had some rather nasty things to say about Governor Palin. In order to give Bachmann the benefit of the doubt, we respectfully request that she either affirm her support for the long-time beltway fossils idiotic comments or refudiate them.
Update: (h/t Jim R) Via the Star Tribune, another of Bachmanns employees, Andy Parrish, attempted to rationalize the comments of her newest employee, Ed Rollins:
Bachmann aide Andy Parrish said Rollins was not speaking as a Bachmann adviser. The Congresswoman and Ms. Palin have an excellent relationship, Parrish said in an e-mail. Rollins was in his media analyst role.
People can judge for themselves whether this convenient excuse explanation is credible
or not.

Call 651-260-4648 to tell her what you think about Rollins!
BTW, Rollins doubled down on his attack against Palin with Chris Matthews today.
She was already becoming damaged goods in this home with her rude and annoying phone calls demanding money all the time. I told them to take a hike last week...had enough!
I’ve been checking in on Drudge all day. I’m very disappointed.
I agree with you.
And, to your point, I am reminded of the comment H Cain [an ordained minister] made the other day about M Bachmann and praying being a private matter.
Has "refudiate" become a word now?
“WOW! The RINOs and beltway elites must really be scared to use Michele like this.”
I say again: it is -possible- that the principal target -was- MB, rather than SP. It would not be the first time a mole infiltrated a campaign in order to blow it up from the inside with some outrageous “support”.
Waiting on MB . . .
Waiting . . .
Waiting . .
(Note to self: some things do not need a telephone feedback analysis to do the right thing, right now)
Huckabee, clearing the deck???
Breaking Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment by your hired old retread will hurt you and if you don't act quickly We're going to find ways to make it hurt more!!!
Sarah doesn't deserve this and everybody knows it!!! Trying to eliminate competition before the race starts is the "Chicago Way" and you must not go there!!!
Everybody also knows that in a primary contest, the cream quickly rises to the top and that you meet the same people coming down that you stepped on on the way up!!!
This will cause a deep split in the Teaparty and is self-destructive. Fire Rollins TONIGHT! He's a loose cannon trying to use you to resurrect himself into the big leagues while spending all your campaign cash!!!
No real conservative with integrity would allow themselves to be used like this...
I thought he bowed out?
You betcha ;>)
Said earlier this week he COULD change his mind and get back in.
**********************************
Agreed!
Me too. I feel betrayed for believing that Bachmann was a true Conservative and possible VP.
pissant got banned? How did I miss that glorious occasion?
What happened?
ugh! . . .
I have been warning about Bachmann for weeks now! It is almost all that I have been posting! MB is all about MB!!!
She has zero chance of winning, is only a spoiler at best.
The idea that she would even consider running against Gov Palin just shows her very very very very poor poor judgment!!
Big lapse of judgment on her part, not to mention that it casts a dark cloud on her integrity.
“Me too. I feel betrayed for believing that Bachmann was a true Conservative and possible VP.”
I still say she has earned the right to set this right . . . But she needs to be as swift and fierce as a lightening bolt. Mushmouth or “nuance” is -not- going to do it!
