AND IN THIS CORNER: Newly-hired Bachmann political consultant Ed Rollins has thrown out the much-anticipated first swing in the Sarah Palin camp's direction, calling America's Top Grifter names on a radio talk show. Ooooh, venom! Rollins told a radio show host that Sarah Palin is "not serious," which is kind of something we assumed even Sarah Palin knows about herself, but okay, sure. Not quite the juicy zinger we were looking for, but this is still basically the warm-up round.

From The Politico:

"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."

Too much wasted breath. Call Sarah Palin a lazy, illiterate quitter clown. BOOM. DONE. [Politico]
