Newt Gingrich had a very bad week. His critique of the Ryan plan to phase out Medicare as "radical right wing social engineering" won celebratory embrace by Democrats and repudiation by Republican party-liners.

The Colbert Report: `Reverse Racism'
In this episode Colbert opens discussion of the Sotomayor nomination with Limbaugh and Buchanan clips. He lays out the illogic of the critics. He then turns to Obama's speech at the NAACP Convention, discussing it with Geoffrey Canada, who is new to me and an impressive voice. Canada reports that a search for evidence of increased and disproportionate discrimination against white men found nothing to support the charge.
