What are the best dividend stocks for your portfolio?

In this edition of The Motley Fool's "Ask a Fool" series, Motley Fool One analyst Jason Moser and Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst Brendan Mathews take a question from a reader who asks: "What's your Foolish opinion on the best stocks for a dividend portfolio?"

Brendan highlights the hefty 5.1% yield offered by Kinder Morgan (KMI 0.40%), as well as a small, overlooked auto-insurer in Massachusetts, Safety Insurance Group (SAFT -1.91%), which pays a respectable 4.3% dividend.
