Threat from Gibbs: Be careful on how you describe Sotomayor


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich poses a terrific argument. He said, "Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.

"A white man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw."

But, according to Press Secretary Gibbs, this means nothing. So he instead threatens those who are not fans of Sonia Sotomayor. How nice, a good way of thinking. Good going CBS' Chip Reid for asking Gibbs the question.
