Stephen Colbert opined on the subject of open marriage, after first brusquely dismissing the question from Morning Joe's Willie Geist as a "garbage question". When John Heileman brought the subject up later he had a bit more to say on the subject.

STEPHEN COLBERT: "Honesty is the best policy. Here’s the thing that I don’t think Newt Gingrich gets enough credit for: a lot of politicians screw around on their wives, but he was enough of a gentleman to ask permission. That’s a Southern gentleman. That’s what Robert E. Lee would have done."
