He didn't call her stupid. He said she wasn't a serious candidate.

IIRC he said that the choice was between an attractive woman who was smart and someone who was just attractive. The implication was that Sarah Palin was stupid.

Bachmann did tell him to apologize.

You got a link to that order? I must have missed that one.

The hiring of Ed Rollins was a stupid decision. She should have fired him.

No argument there.

“The hiring of Ed Rollins was a stupid decision”

Is rocketing toward/into the lead generally a sign of a ‘stupid decision’ on campaign staffing?

If she gets any stupider she’ll be president.

The hiring of Ed Rollins was a stupid decision.

Perhaps.

While hiring Rollins is not necessarily the best decision for campaign strategy execution you seem to forget that Jack Kemp hired Rollins in 1996 for his own presidential run.

Would you also like to dump on Kemp -- pioneer of Reagan's 1981 30% across the board Income tax reduction plan that made up the core of Reaganomics and the entire '80's boom?

Seems a little history lesson is due here.

Rollins was an adviser to Reagan's campaigns even as Sears got the boot in 1980. Was Reagan ill-advised or did you fail to recall that it was Rollins who was the National Campaign Director for the Reagan-Bush '84 campaign, winning 49 of 50 states?

Like it or not Rollins is a player, and he has a track record. For all we know Michelle may have enough on the ball to keep this jackal at close quarters, making him unavailable to other Washington "darlings," so as not to botch or bog down the Tea Party message.

Friends close, enemies closer.

We all think so linearly around here sometimes. For some Freepers their presumed mastery of keeping their well-meaning "eyes-on-the-prize" just results in alot of "perfection-enemy-of-the- good"-style tunnel vision.

In the end, all we end up doing is sniping at our natural allies. Yeah, you're "perfect," but "they" win. Our enemies are content with the odds in that battleground.

Try thinking a little asymetrically.

Pass a little less judgment and think a little more strategically.

FReegards!

Then he did not call her stupid and someone is telling a big one. That little statement is nothing more than a little zinger. I see you with a little tiny shovel desperately trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
