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

[LynneSin]

Seriously this is proof that O'Donnell does not want to win. Sure Bill Maher has been busting on O'Donnell these past weeks bringing up some of the more memorable moments of when she has appeared on Maher's old "Politically Incorrect" show back in the 90s. After the first won the primaries, Maher threatened to show a clip each week on his show "Real Time", Maher felt he's the one that made O'Donnell a public figure and he wanted her on the show - he said he'd show a new clip each week until she appeared on his show. At first the comments were damaging with the classic statements that O'Donnell made about practicing witchcraft but overtime the clips seemed to have mellowed out. Honestly, everytime Maher talked about O'Donnell he seemed to genuinely like her just didn't think she was US Senate material.

I would have to suspect if Maher finds out that O'Donnell compared him to 'Terrorists overseas' that all hell is about to break lose tonight. It's one thing to run funny clips of actual words Ms O'Donnell has said. It's another to make such disparaging remarks comparing Maher to the people responsible for the horrendous crimes around the globe.

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

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.

Bill Maher is definitely not someone I'd like to be on his bad-side. I have a feeling he's not going to take this remark very lightly. If O'Donnell had even a slim chance of winning this senate seat, I suspect it's going to be gone after tonight's show.

2. why should she want to win?

I mean, look at the career Sarah Palin has now that she's lost the veep nomination ...

$100K per speech ... a career in Fox (for which she has yet to produce one moment of product, right???)
