Yeah, it's Mother Jones, but an interesting little tidbit nonetheless.

Further proof that the woman is out of her depth.

Dirtboy to Bachmann - you are not serious in your run for president, seeing that you are allowing your attack dog to knife a large portion of your base.

[Sea Parrot]

“Waterloo” what an appropriate place for starting her campaign

[Arm_Bears]

Michelle has done serious damage to herself, at least in the eyes of this TEA Partier.

[napscoordinator]

They are scared out of their minds for a President Bachmann. I love it! Go Michele! You are a wonderful person who deserves to be President. Don’t let the RINOs and scardy cats let you down. You keep up with those pro-life principles and you will win!!!!

[RichInOC]

Ohhh. So apparently Ed defines “serious player” as “willing to write me big checks for my ‘wisdom’.”

[Leaning Right]

I like Bachmann too, although right now I find a Palin/Cain ticket more appealing.

But Bachmann does pass one important test. She drives the far left absolutely crazy.

[kitkat]

Mother Jones is a liberal, whacko group and has been for many, many years. I don’t trust anything they say.

[curth]

Seems like Ed isn’t very creative. He just uses the same script till he gets to the part where it says “insert name” where then continues on with his ridiculing of whomever he is being paid to damage.

[Friendofgeorge]

The video/audio of Ed R putting MB down,would make for a good commercial?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Saying someone is a “fake” tea partier because they feel betrayed by Bachmann hiring Ed Rollins?

Good grief.

Do you know who Ed Rollins has run the campaigns of?

He ran Ross Perot’s campaign in 1992 for a while, he ran Christie Todd Whitman’s campaign, he ran Michael Huffington’s campaign, and he ran Mike Huckabee’s campaign in 2008.

So he has run the campaign of a spoiler, a pro-choice governor, a closested gay man, and, well Mike Huckabee.

I reside in Minnesota. Yes she raises the bar but she is not presidential, she wouldn’t win the general. We need someone who can beat Obama. It’s the first priority point in choosing our ticket.

West, Cain, DeMint, Pence …

[Hildy]

Further proof that campaign managers are just paid political hacks.

[bwc2221]

Bachmann is like a career Double A player called called up to the majors and is facing a Cy Young pitcher (Palin) who could end Michele's career with a 98 mile hour fastball or a well-placed soundbite.

[ansel12]

Her hiring him proved that he was right, incredibly destructive and nasty turn for her reputation.

[FrankR]

[McGruff]

I thought Michelle had some brains behind those looks. Not the first time I have been wrong.

[Minus_The_Bear]

You're not very smart are you?

Rollins called Bachmann "a joke" and "not serious" before she hired him.
