SotoSkirmish: Newt Joins The 'Racist' Bandwagon

Newt Gingrich echoed the accusation that Sonia Sotomayor is a racist (made most forcefully by former Rep. Tom Tancredo) on Twitter today:

@newtgingrich White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw.

@newtgingrich Imagine a judicial nominee said "my experience as a white man makes me better than a latina woman" new racism is no better than old racism

Is there anyone that Newt Gingrich hasn't said should withdraw? The man's bound to have some serious coronary problems if he keeps up his current level of self-righteous indignation.
