Correction:

Why she should anyone apologize because Bachmann has no executive experience? She doesn't.

Jealous woman Alert!!!! Lol!

Palin was ASKED what are the differences between her and Bachmann! Should she have said none?

Source?
Independent verification?
Anything from the Palin camp on this?

Or, is it merely spin to feed into the blogosphere in an attempt to slow down the issue?

I think Bachmann has much more character than that, although her hiring Rollins is a real head scratcher.

Ms. Michele Bachmann-Romney KNEW she did wrong,
but has refused to correct it publicly.

THAT is a coverup.

Bad RINO..... NO SALE.

Yep. Michelle has tied a Gordian knot and cannot get it untied. She has tangled herself in a web of her own deceit.

The problem here is that the RINO she allegedly struck down is her RINO, one she is paying and taking advice from.

How many people even heard these comments? I only saw them reported on Politico and Daily Caller - two inside the beltway gossip sites. From what I could tell very few conservative blogs reported on it and it didn't get much attention in the larger media either. If it had become a big story then yes a public apology might have been warrented. But an inside the beltway process story that the majority of Americans a)never heard about and b)could probably care less about doesn't require one IMO.

You do know that it is not a requirement for running for President. I also do not see Palin as being able to decide if she actually wants to run.

I call that unserious. A person should know by now what they intend to do on a decision this big.

Hey, you like Palin, I like Bachmann. We are at an impasse.

One may win, both may lose. Time will tell.

Or are too stupid to realize just who Rollins is and that he even works for Bachmann.

This fan club mentality is really annoying. Both Palin and Bachmann are acceptable candidates. Bachmann has actually entered the race, so that puts her a league ahead.

We should know better than to play these stupid games by now.

I am not going to say this is BS, but it does not “quite” pass the smell test.

If Sarah confirms the Rollin apology, I’ll feel a bit better, but the apology should have been public and Bachmann should have canned him immediately afterwards.

Just hiring Rollins remains a warning sign in my book. If she’s that tone deaf...

Feel free to use this, at your discretion. (It's been getting a lot of use, lately). ;)

An apology within 24 hours of the incident would have been accepted by ME, at least. But now? Now, when IF it’s true, it is only being done because MB now sees it has hurt her with potential voters.....and NOT because MB has an iota of decency, or gratitude for Sarah’s campaigning for HER? I say STUFF your apology where the sun doesn’t shine!

Well, we know that she hired Rollins for a top position.

And we know that Rollins attacked Palin.

And we know that there were no public apologies.

So the only thing we don’t know is whether this WaPo stroty is true, and if it is true, when it took place.

So far, this news story is the only apology on offer.

So they give this story to the Post—a couple of weeks after the Rollins incident—at the same time they have Bachmann rebuke Romney over abortion. This after repeatedly refusing to criticize Romney for Romneycare and otherwise too transparently aiding the “Romney in a Walk by Splitting the Palin Vote” campaign.

The question is, how many people will fall for it?

Bachmann probably got my email, which can be paraphrased as “What are you, a f$%@ing idiot?”

And I’m not even that gung-ho for Palin.

I am missing an apology to Michele when Palin mentioned Michele was really lacking executive experience.

Misrepresenting the facts again, I see...Sarah was asked by a reporter for difference between herself and MB. She politely said "executive experience," unlike Rollins who drove MB's dagger in deep.

Nobody in this thread has PDS. The Bachmann supporters on here have said nothing ill-will of Sarah Palin. As for some of her unrational supporters that have been bent on destroying anyone seen as in the way of her coronation, well that’s a different story.

Bachmann Derangement Syndrome, though, is alive and well. Next thing you know, we’ll be reading about how she’s actually having an affair with Romney and is in cahoots to become his second wife once polygamy becomes legal under the Romney Administration. I can see those cold-calls going out in IA/SC even as we speak. /sarc
