Bachmann vs. Palin feud hits Twitter A few weeks ago, I pointed out that a prominent Sarah Palin blogger had turned on Michele Bachmann. On Fox News Sunday this week, Palin pointed out that she, unlike Bachmann, had executive experience (though added that Bachmann had strengths, too). The feud was taken to a new level, however, when Bachmanns new celebrity campaign manager, Ed Rollins referred to Palin as not serious. This was too much for Palin supporter and talk radio host, Tammy Bruce who took to her Twitter feed. Bruce, who also appears in the new film about Palin, The Undefeated, Tweeted: Palinistas, u know my theory Bachmann is a Stalking Horse/patsy for establishment, mission is to divide & distract, dont fall for it Bruce also Tweeted: Im told Rollins, aka Bachmann guy spent entire intv bashing Palin, not discussing where his candidate stands on issues. Weird. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Earlier today, prominent conservative blogger Michele Malkin lamented the feud, Tweeting: I hate to see Bachmann and Palin camps going at each other. Hate it. No good deed goes unpunished. Malkin must have received some push-back from Palin supporters, because she later Tweeted: Pro-Palin friends, why are you picking a fight with ME? Camp is a general term. Quit it w/the they started it crap.

She hired the man yesterday, didn't she?
Get your head out of the sand!
I support both Bachmann and Palin. Bachmann to stay in the House and fight the battle there and Palin as president, where she will excel. I have no desire to “attack” either one.
If you do not know about this slimey bassturd and the vicious slanderous things he said against her when she would not put up with his BS. ask people who know.
Do some research, and then maybe suggest to MB that she touch bases with KH on Rollins misogynistic behavior before it is too late to save her reputation.
You can be certain that BOR didn’t leave it open in hopes of driving Palin’s count up.
Our two beautiful ladies are feuding? Oh noes!
Not necessarily. It’s only political junkies who even know who Ed Rollins is or probably even know about this story. The MSM and cable news networks are focused on two things - Anthony Weiner and Barack Obama’s horseshit economy. Most news outlets didn’t even report that Rollins would be working for Bachmann. If Bachmann shuts him up this will be over quickly. For those saying bye bye, Bachmann was most likely never their first choice anyway.
It was one of those “polls” where you can vote as many times as you want to.
You have to run to possibly be president. Why doesn’t Palin announce? Why doesn’t she show up at the New Hampshire debate with the other candidates? Surely she’d wipe the floor with all these inferior candidates, no?
What an absolutely absurd article. This should be in chat.
Bachmann is over if this is true.
What Jump?
She just hired him to start speaking for her and setting her strategy, she is the one that hired him to do this.
Conservatives are about ideas, not personalities folks.
The hack Rollins can go p*ss up a rope, btw. He's part of the reason this party can never seem to get its act together.
Back it up? Joking right. We shouldnt have to. Bachmann hires Rollins. Rollins goes after Palin. What is there to back up????? Its quite simple.

Has Michele Bachmann announced she is running for president?
Rollin’s has to go. Sarah Palin has been nothing but the consumate Gentlelady to Bachmann, showing deference at every opportunity.
She either does the right thing or she’s toast in my book, PERIOD!
She hired the slimy bastard YESTERDAY and he started attacking Palin immediately. You do the math.
Bachmann hired Ed yesterday, and he is out trashing Palin today. Bachmann either needs to pull the guy out immediately, or she is done as a conservative leader. Period. Palin has 30X the following Bachmann, and anyone on our side treating her this way is not on our side. I am a huge fan of Bachmann, but she is about to blow it.
