'Citizenville,' Gavin Newsom's Book, Released With Coming-Out Party Hosted By Gettys (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Gavin Hosts Book Party At Local Celebrity's Mansion

Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom is hot on the book trail these days, with both a stop on The Colbert Report and a release party hosted by San Francisco titans Gordon and Ann Getty.

About 200 guests gathered at the Getty party to celebrate the release of "Citizenville: How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government," a book about new approaches to government in the digital age.

While the crowd at the release party was all smiles, Stephen Colbert was a harsher critic.

"Take the town square digital?" he asked. "What the f*ck does that mean? Is there a bullsh*t translator?"

But the Lt. Gov took the grilling in stride, giving the host a taste of his own medicine, and drawing applause from the audience for his staunch defense of California.
