MR. COLBERT: Yeah.
MR. RUSSERT: “The biggest threat,” you say, “facing America today—next to socialized medicine, the Dyson vacuum cleaner and the recumbent bicycle.”
MR. COLBERT: Yeah.
MR. RUSSERT: That, to you, that means it’s a serious threat to our culture.
MR. COLBERT: Right. It, it, it’s...
MR. RUSSERT: Why?
MR. COLBERT: Excuse me?
MR. RUSSERT: Why?
MR. COLBERT: Why is gay marriage?
MR. RUSSERT: Mm-hmm.
MR. COLBERT: Marriage is the basic building block of society. And if gay men get married, that threatens my marriage immediately because I only got married as a taunt toward gay men because they couldn’t.
MR. RUSSERT: So it makes you feel insecure.
MR. COLBERT: Well, I just don’t know else—why I got married other than to rub it in gay people’s faces.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you consider Senator Larry Craig as your running mate?
MR. COLBERT: I would.
MR. RUSSERT: Have you had conversations with him?
MR. COLBERT: Define conversation.
MR. RUSSERT: Have you spoken to him?
MR. COLBERT: No, no.
MR. RUSSERT: Have you met with him? Have you been in the same room together?
MR. COLBERT: Yes. And my...
MR. RUSSERT: And how...
MR. COLBERT: Sorry, my lawyer’s telling me to say no more.
MR. RUSSERT: How did you express your interest in developing your relationship?
MR. COLBERT: Forcefully.
