In possibly the first inter-staff dust-up of the 2012 presidential race, an aide of Sarah Palin is hitting back at Mitt Romney’s camp for saying the former Alaska governor is “not a serious human being.”

A “Romney intimate” was quoted by "Time" magazine’s Mark Halperin in a Thursday column as saying that Palin could not withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign.

“If she’s standing up there in a debate and the answers are more than 15 seconds long, she’s in trouble,” the Romney intimate said.

An additional Romney adviser was quoted as saying the former Massachusetts governor’s team is not intimidated by a possible Palin run. “She’s not a serious human being,” the adviser said.

3. The aide is too polite

Miss Winky-Dinky in a debate with Romney. Would love to see that.

4. Just watching Palin debating the other GOP presidential candidates in the primaries would be a hoot!

6. I didn't know whether Biden was going to start giggling or throw up

It's a real tribute to the man that he managed decorum during that "debate."

I say that very loosely because spouting rehearsed speeches punctuated by winks does not a debate make.

9. She won't debate Romney,

he's prettier than she is...

12. I can't wait to see the Palinites go berserk when the other GOP candidates attack her.

And watching Palin run crying to Fox news about how mean they all are when they talk about her lack of experience and ability.

18. Just remembering what I read on the Townhall website

When Kathy Parker's columns were posted on their website last year, the vitriol spewed by Palinites towards her stopped just short of virtual online lynching after The Palin Problem was posted there during the '08 GOP campaign.

I can only imagine what the RW political wars will be like if it comes down to Teabaggers/Palinites vs old-school conservatives backing Romney, Gingrich, Jindal, ect...

Should be a lot of fun to watch and read, if it happens. I have read some epic insults being hurled back and forth between freepers backing Palin, and other freepers who think that she is a sham and a fraud.

5. I am by no means a fan of Mitt Romney, BUT.....

I gotta go with him and his aide on this one.

7. She's serious about making money

That woman is an idiot.

8. The phrase "Romney intimate" is so very, very wrong.

11. Well, he's mormon, so he's probably got dozens.

[PCIntern]

10. Well, they're right about that...

she makes Mitt look like Bertrand Russell...

13. Sarah Palin, Official Rodeo Clown of the GOP.

She hasn't figured out that she's just a distraction, not an actual candidate for anything, ever.

[opihimoimoi]

14. OMG....POPCORN TIME....I wanna see the dust in the air as them 2 dig each other

Mitt the Unfit will lose to Sarah...especially if she grows a pair like Moxie and Spunky

A fully titted Sarah would mop the floor with Mitt

[immoderate]

15. I've always considered Romney a dimwit.

I still don't have a category for Palin.

16. Please clarify.

Not serious, or not human???

[tanyev]

17. Ooh, Mitt, you better refudiate that remark or you're gonna get a serious Twitter smack-down!

:rofl:

[spanone]

20. sarah has nothing to worry about, the media will portray her as a worthy contender

you watch

22. Best line

"“For Washington consultants to sit around and personally disparage the governor anonymously to reporters is unfortunate and counterproductive and frankly immature,” said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity."
