Bob Hennelly provides a few gems from WNYC's latest bi-weekly political podcast, saying:

Attorney General candidate Eric Schneiderman has momentum, or, in Hennelly-speak, he "has it going on."

Hennelly also questions Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio's maverick credentials, saying he "colors within the lines."

Brian Lehrer wonders if America would be talking about an Islamic center near Ground Zero if it weren't Lazio.

Bonus feature: after a joke about reporters needing a hygiene lesson after following candidates on the campaign trail, Lehrer deadpans, "I've been meaning to talk to you about this Azi."
