Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich caused a stink on the House of Representatives floor this morning during a speech where he announced he'll introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush on Monday, Jan. 28, the day Bush delivers his State of the Union speech.
"We already know the State of the Union," Kucinich says in his speech, which has been posted on YouTube (see above) . "It's a lie."
Republicans objected to Kucinich's statements, and the Cleveland congressman returned to the floor a few minutes later to withdraw his "offending words."
Florida GOP Rep. Cliff Stearns called Kucinich's statements a "clear and egregious violation of House rules" but said he'd accept Kucinich's request to withdraw his remarks.
"Both sides here attempt to restore civility, calmness here with legitimate debate and not utter personal accusations," Stearns said.

We should have impeached Clinton on Jan 21,2001
******************************************************
In fact Clinton was impeached.
President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999.
After making that outrageous speech - the little SOB should have had his brain housing group “readjusted”...
When will Americans FINALLY reach the point of responsive OUTRAGE.....
Kucinich makes me embarassed to be from Cleveland but Bush makes me embarassed to be an american. They are both mentally impiared ideologues who are out of touch with the rest of America.
You know, it absolutely amazes me how someone who says that President Bush is "mentally impaired" can't spell "impaired" correctly...just damn...
well we do have nests of liberals,not as many as you would think,half his votes are probably from the dead dem voter caucus and multiple vote voters
Dennis, if the primary dumps you, please for our future, run 3rd,4th,5th,or even 6th party. We need you!!
There...fixed it.
You are absolutely correct. I DEMAND A RECOUNT!
That could be useful. The Republicans ought to encourage them. Bait them a bit, even.
