Ed Rollins, Michele Bachmann's new chief strategist, picks a fight with Sarah Palin, slamming her as unserious while casting his new client as a true workhorse:

Michelle Bachmann's new top consultant, Ed Rollins, began his tenure with scathing criticism of potential Bachmann rival Sarah Palin.

"Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years," Rollins told Brian Kilmeade on his radio show, Kilmeade and friends. "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."

He suggested that the contrast would favor Bachmann.

"Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney, she has done important things with family values."

You know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel when you're forced to compare yourself to Sarah Palin to prove that your candidate is serious.
