When Ed Rollins left as presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's campaign manager last month he said nice things about her, and she him. No longer.

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."
