Ed Rollins opens his mouth

http://www.townhall.com/blog/g/13a3122e-dfd6-4d8a-81a3-bc8c6e11f550


At a hole-in-the wall Des Moines eatery, Mike Huckabee’s campaign chairman loudly bashed their top rival presidential candidate Mitt Romney and made several predictions to two national television reporters.

I overheard Rollins’ conversation while dining in a restaurant called Winston’s located close to Huckabee’s Iowa headquarters and took notes on my computer. Below is a compilation of what I heard:

-He distinctly talked about going negative in South Carolina and told someone on the phone to “put some good in there if you have to, with the bad. Do what you gotta do.”

-Rollins let the f-bomb fly twice and told his blonde female dining companion a joke about flying the Confederate flag in the South Carolina state capitol.

-snip-

-Rollins made a phone call to Lou Dobbs and said he would ready to have drinks with him after Iowa to talk about Hillary. There also was a reference to Rollins’ recent comments about wanting to knock Romney’s teeth out, as Rollins told Dobbs “they are all porcelain.”

-Rollins also called Andrea Mitchell and predicted Obama would take Iowa tonight. He called Mitchell “sweetie” several times.

-Rollins believes Rudy Giuliani is “done,” “has no money,” and was “hurt terribly by those police cruises with his girlfriends.”
-snip-

there is a video of Ed replying to the above . . . . . .

3. Giuliani may have no money
But Huckster's not exactly rolling in ready cash for his campaign, either. McCain is similarly broke. It will be interesting to see who has staying power for the Republicans. Romney, of course, is self-financing, but if he has to continue shelling out four figures per vote, it's questionable whether he's going to be happy with that kind of return on his investment.

4. Oooops
I'm not sure if private conversation is fair game - BUT it was in a public place - must be what it is like to have your private phone conversations monitored - only that is much worse - how does it feel Ed.....

8. Know how we are always saying that the Republicans must think
we are stupid? Well, he must have thought our contributor was a non-entity. I don't know what the ethics are of this, but no Rovian would let it pass and his dinner guest was not maligned - so let it rip.

7. Rollins was right about most of that stuff
and I won't cry if Ed knocks Romney's teeth out.

The GOP race just keeps getting funnier. Thanks for posting this!
