Political Wire:

Rep. Michele Bachmann told the New York Times that it was "dismaying" that former campaign manager Ed Rollins made critical comments about her presidential bid as he left.

Said Bachmann: "When it comes to personnel issues, I act professionally and respectful of former employees. I just assume that's a two-way street. It's disappointing when it's not."

When it was pointed out that Rollins has a history of speaking sharply about candidates who once employed him, Bachmann smiled and said, "I guess I should have done that Google search."

Meanwhile, Rollins tells National Review that he should have done more research, too. "Well, if I would have Googled her, I would have found out she had 6 chiefs of staff in 5 years."

Perhaps if Rep. Bachmann acted professionally & respectful [sic] of her staff while they were still in her employ, they wouldn't make like rats leaving a sinking ship so often.
