Merry R6Mas, peeps!

23 December 2013, The Five (Fox News Network), “Countdown to Christmas”:
GREG GUTFELD, CO-HOST: You know, I’m looking at that Joe Boxer ad with the men in the boxers, I just want to make a point. It is called Christmas Eve, not Christmas Steve. It makes me sick to my stomach the way this country is going. It’s offensive to me.

PERINO: Are you joking?

GUTFELD: I could say I’m joking yes.
