  Been done: Communist Party is a Unity Party.

  Problem is lack of transparency -- the compromise is taking place but behind closed doors & w fewer voices.

  If ya like health care why not simply create a "Health Care" party?

  Hi Mr. Lopate,

  I know your entire show today is a April Fool's Day show today!

  
  
• [6] John Celardo from Fanwood, NJ April 01, 2008 - 01:20PM

  What is today's date again?

  
  
• [7] DP from Brooklyn April 01, 2008 - 01:20PM

  Lenny really plays the straight-guy well.

  
  
• [8] James from New York April 01, 2008 - 01:21PM

  We can call it Da One Party & threaten to play that aweful "Are U da One" thing over & over til they elected us....

  Oh hell ya got me! Unbelievably mortifying *blush*

  Frightening how closely the spokesman's loopy comments resemble those of real politicians. It's getter harder and harder to recognize an April Fool's prank!

  
  
• [12] Jeffrey Slott from East Elmhurst April 01, 2008 - 01:21PM

  This is too obvious. The previous interview was better done and funnier, IMO.

  
  
• [13] Pam from Wstr. April 01, 2008 - 01:22PM

  Brilliant! Joseph Nilats!

  
  
• [14] seth April 01, 2008 - 01:23PM

  that was quite a cut off... too funny- borderline uncomfortable.

  
  
• [15] MG from Park Slope April 01, 2008 - 01:23PM

  Is there any real news today? :-)

  
  
• [16] Shai from NYC April 01, 2008 - 01:24PM

  Wow, that was great. He let it hang in the air for a sec, and then..."and he wants me to lose my job."

  Classic.

  
  
• [17] Elvis Yelserp from Queens April 01, 2008 - 01:25PM

  I was going to vote for George Clinton anyway!!

  
  
• [18] Patti from Brooklyn April 01, 2008 - 01:26PM

  Was Nilats an April Fool? I can't stop laughing.....

  
  
• [19] Elvis Yelserp from Queens April 01, 2008 - 01:29PM

  That was definitely a put-on, Patti. But I can't tell if Lenny was in on the joke. If so he certainly does play the straight man well.

  
  
• [20] Amy from Manhattan April 01, 2008 - 01:32PM

  DG (#7) beat me to it, but I'd like to agree--great job of playing it straight, Leonard! Makes it that much funnier.

  And Mike (#5)? I'm reasonably sure the 1st 2 segments were for real. And the last one's description looks serious too, but I'll suspend judgment till I actually hear it....

  
  
• [21] TM from Brooklyn April 01, 2008 - 01:34PM

  Wow, I thought the previous guy was an gag, too.

  
  
• [22] LarryNyack from Nyack, NY April 01, 2008 - 01:35PM

  Nilats spelled backwards...

  
  
• [23] Sara Robbins from Cheyenne Wyoming.... April 01, 2008 - 01:37PM

  I'm enjoying the morning humor today Leonard... We hear enough crappy sad news in a day so it's great to get some light hearted stuff... On april fool's... GREAT JOB!

  Have you all seen the front page of the Science Times? Project Zipper is my fave!

  
  
• [25] hip_hop_says from brooklyn April 01, 2008 - 02:13PM

  lopate is such a good straight man!!!!

  
  
• [26] Sheryl from Howell, NJ April 01, 2008 - 03:00PM

  You guys had me hooked! I kept thinking, "How did they not screen this guy better?" I should have known you'd have us laughing with this one for a reason.

  Happy April Fool's Day!
