I don't mind the wingnuts as long as others on the panel smack them down with facts, which they do regularly.

and chase the good parts later online: the opening monologue, the New Rules, and occasionally the fake commercial.

It's a pity he never has any of the more intelligent wingnuts on, that he goes for the idiots like O'Donnell and the braying numbskulls like Feehery.

It's especially infuriating when one of the loudmouths is on when he has a truly wonderful guest like Rushdie.

He wasn't willing to cede ground even as the woman on the show kept pushing the "reasonable" both sides do it crap.

From Wiki:

On May 26, 2007, Costas declared that the presidency of George W. Bush had "tragically failed."

Some people may wonder about the [political] feelings that I've expressed, and I won't get into all the particulars. I think it is now overwhelmingly evident, if you're honest about it, even if you're a conservative Republican, if you're honest about it, this is a failed administration. And no honest conservative would say that George W. Bush was among the 500 most qualified people to be President of the United States. That's not based on political leaning. If a liberal, and I tend to be liberal, disagrees with a conservative, they can still respect that person's competence and the integrity of their point of view. This administration can be rightly criticized by a fair-minded person smack in the middle of the political spectrum on a hundred different counts, and by now they're all self-evident."
