"Maher used his first show of the season to remind O’Donnell that “I made you,” "

I thought I remembered that Maher said he "made" her. Sounds like he's warning O'Donnell that he'll spill the beans about having slept with her.

I don't care if she's had sex or explored withcraft. But I think it's interesting that Maher didn't just say that he created her but "made" her. Imo, it's an obvious reference to having slept with her.

Seems to me that he's going to take credit for making and then breaking her public life.

1. Made her or did her? n/t

[eleny]

3. Same thing. But he's quoted as saying "made" on Friday night

That's what I remembered from watching the show.

Btw, I believe that he's at least trying to give the impression that he screwed her then. And he's surely screwing her now.

2. I doubt it. The creepy factor would harm Maher more than O'Donnell

If he's going to reveal anything, it won't be that he slept with her.

4. Are you serious?

Maher is known for being a creep. Revealing that he "made" her won't harm him at all. It's O'Donnell that's being the sanctimonious asshole, telling everyone else how to live their lives. Maher is simply calling her out on her hypocrisy, because he has firsthand knowledge as to the true Christine.

8. I certainly would be repulsed nt

5. I don't believe that Maher's image would be harmed

His career suffered from that fateful conversation about terrorists on Politically Incorrect and he bounced back big time.

Imo, O'Donnell's association with him would hurt her more because of his agreement with the position that the 9/11 terrorists were not cowards.

6. i didn't take his saying that as meaning he slept with her.

to me it meant that he created her. he gave her tv time. when no one else would give her the time of day. so she owes him to come on his show now. that's what i took him to mean.

10. I interpreted it the same way until today

From Maher's recent appearance on Larry King I got the impression that he doesn't want her to win the election.

Given the last minute support that Miller received in Alaska, pundits are expecting the same for O'Donnell. So it wouldn't surprise me if Maher is doing what he can to get her on his program for a grilling. A little threat like what I surmise could do it.

7. If he did sleep with her then she's a total hypocrite

and a liar. If he slept with her then I hope it comes out. I'm really sick and tired of liars running for office. Especially sanctimonious extreme rightists.

9. I didn't interpret it in any sexual way

She was a guest on his show 22 times when no one knew who she was, that's how "he made her". I do like how he threatened to air new and ridiculous clips of her every week until she agrees to a real interview. That cracked me up!

[eleny]

13. Please see my reply #10 above

I do agree with you, though, that his showing the clip and threatening to air other ridiculous ones is a hoot. I just can't seem to shake my other notion.

11. 'Don't you want me baby?

You know I can't believe it when you say that you won't see me."

12. lol!
