Run out of popcorn yet?

Sarah Palin's chief of staff blasted Michele Bachmann strategist Ed Rollins today after Rollins criticized the former Alaska governor and suggested to POLITICO that his candidate would benefit by comparison to her

"Beltway political strategist Ed Rollins has a long, long track record of taking high profile jobs and promptly sticking his foot in his mouth," said Sarah PAC chief of staff Michael Glassner in an emailed statement. "To no one's surprise he has done it again, while also fueling a contrived narrative about the presidential race by the mainstream media. One would expect that his woodshed moment is coming and that a retraction will be issued soon."

Glassner is ticked off because Rollins said that Bachmann is every bit as good-looking as Sarah Palin, but with more brainpower and seriousness.

In response to Palinland's demands, Rollins is semi-apologizing, saying his comment was a "misstep" but also telling Palin-land to "let it go":

Michele Bachmann adviser Ed Rollins' response to the sharp criticisms from Sarah Palin's world just now was to "let it go."

But he didn't go quietly, telling me, "I haven't lived in Washington D.C. in 15 years, and I've been taken to the woodshed by the big boys."

As for Michele Bachmann's intelligence? Well, she's paying somebody to say she's smarter than Sarah Palin...and then letting him walk it back. Sort of.
