Bill Maher spoke directly to undecided voters, or as he calls them, “the Christmas Eve shoppers of politics,” on the latest episode of Real Time.

With just days left until Election Day, the host said, “I can’t say I’m not nervous that the election is in the hands of a small cohort of undecided voters. Those curious few bisexuals of politics who everybody loves to mock.”

He added that he calls them “the Christmas Eve shoppers of politics” because “they know the big day is coming, but they just can’t get themselves to do anything about it until the last minute.”

Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld asked Mediaite to write about the Fox News show's segment this morning about conspiracy theories, and we are more than happy to oblige. After panelist Michael Moynihan declared that "most polls are stupid," Gutfeld predicted that Mediaite would take the show's edited-down soundbite and make Moynihan look "racist" for all.
