When Bachmann hired Rollins to attack Palin, it was a blunder of huge, massive, proportions, she put herself at war with the core of the conservative movement, it was a terrible mistake for her to choose that strategy, and it revealed a dark side to her.
Conservatives were forced to try to figure out her motives, and that forced closer examination of who she really is, and what could have led to such an epic mistake.
She forced conservatives to scrutinize her and dig below the surface.
Well put, Ansel12. I am scrutinizing her record, her written word. As I see it, whe she sent Rollins out to tear into Palin and didn’t even have the decency to fire him or even to apologize to Palin, who had been a huge benefactor of hers, Bachmann in effect drew first blood.
Now her fans, and some of the nebbishes on our side, are screaming bloody murder because I remark on some patent problems with her syntax and coherence, not to mention her judgment in lobbying for a very crooked, very prominent contributor of hers.
