Senate hopeful O’Donnell likens Bill Maher, ‘terrorists overseas’

[meegbear]

The Republican candidate for Delaware's Senate seat compared a comedian and talk show host to "terrorists overseas" during an interview with ABC News.

Speaking with Jonathan Karl, Christine O'Donnell for the first time commented on Bill Maher's decision to air clips of her appearances on "Politically Incorrect" from the 1990's.

Maher has stated that he will air clips of O'Donnell every week until she appears on his program.

"You know it's funny because originally when his show reached out to me I said I'd love to see what I can do to get it in my schedule, until he made this threat," said O’Donnell.

"Whether it’s with terrorists overseas as a senator sitting in the foreign policy or guest on a talk show, I won’t give in to threats," she continued.

7. What if the senator stands - would she happen to listen then

:rofl:

3. oh please. his 'threat' is not a true threat. it is meant to be fun.

she is just embarrassed at having to explain stuff she said in the 90s. or maybe people are seeing how stupid her ideas are and she doesn't like that. maher has always said he likes her and that she isn't mean.

4. As Big An Idiot As She Is. . .

. . .the headline is unfair. She really is making no connection between the two. It was a moronic thing to say, and she's not going to sitting in on any foreign policy meetings as a senator, but she's really not likening Bill to terrorists.

It's just false bravado and bluster out of the mouth of someone who speaks before her empty head can hit the brakes.

6. And O'Donnell's lone functioning brain cell said, "I think I can, I think I can"

8. Bill is everything she hates.

A smart-assed atheist who doesn't play partisan, doesn't accept redefinitions, and knows impartiality when he sees it.
