The New Hampshire campaign staff of Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann today issued a scathing indictment of her national political team, in explaining why the New Hampshire staff left en masse late last week.

In a joint statement, Bachmann’s five paid staff members in New Hampshire wrote that the entire team left because of their poor relationship with the national campaign. “The manner in which some in the national team conducted themselves towards Team-NH was rude, unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel,” they wrote. “But more concerning was how abrasive, discourteous, and dismissive some within the national team were towards many New Hampshire citizens.”

The team also said they were asked to work without pay for the past month.

Welcome to the real World, Neo.

4. Sounds like the "apples" (the national team) didn't fall far from the "tree" (Bachmann herself.)

“The manner in which some in the national team conducted themselves towards Team-NH was rude, unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel,” they wrote. “But more concerning was how abrasive, discourteous, and dismissive some within the national team were towards many New Hampshire citizens.”

These traits seem to be quite common among 'baggers.

6. Or, as Bill Maher has said in other contexts, "The nut doesn't fall from the tree."

In this case, nuts.

5. So, they were willing to work for a crazy woman, just not for free?

As for "rude, unprofessional, dishonest, cruel, abrasive, discourteous, and dismissive"... seems like GOP operatives would be used to that kind of thing.

8. A crazy women's cash spends just like any other.

IMO, the real issue is around that they were willing to take money to crazy woman in charge of the country...

I've worked for crazy people but the jobs were not advancing the crazy person's power.

9. That's what I meant (thought I wasn't clear in what I posted.)

Also explains Bush II's campaign manager recently leaping on to Perry's sinking ship. No other motivation than grabbing as much treasure as possible before running for the lifeboats makes any sense.

7. Media is still pretending Bachman is relevant? Huh.
