I don't believe she called Ed on the carpet publicly. That would be bad mojo and she needs another manager. Here is what she said:
All I want to say that I like Sarah Palin a lot, were friends. And I dont consider her a competitor, I consider her a friend. But my comparison ultimately is to Barack Obama, Bachmann said.
What Rollins has said as Bachmann's campaign manager.
People are going to say, I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman whos every bit as attractive.
"Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years"
"She got the vice-presidential thing handed to her. She didn't go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance. She gave up her governorship."
Bachmann did not apoligize for, nor disagree with any of the above remarks made by her campaign manager.
I believe that's a clear indication that she supports those kinds of attacks against Palin.
