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.

Some of the reader comments are a scream.
He returned to the floor after hovering in his UFO for an hour.
At this point, could this be anything other than trying to get revenge for Clinton’s impeachment? Seriously.
Yes. I enjoyed the posts by FlamingMoron. For instance:

PEOPLE OF THE PLANET EARTH, LISTEN TO ME!
YOU MUST IMPEACH THE LIAR BUSH!
AND SEND ME SOME MONEY!
According the results posted on Fox, this wacko amassed a whopping 5 votes in the Nevada primary. You’d think more people than that would vote for a candidate by accident, due to poor vision, Alzheimer’s, drunkenness, too stupid to figure out how the ballot or voting machine works, etc.
It will be an interesting State of the Union speech,I expect outright boos from the left side of the aisle,they won’t be able to control themselves.
One more group to add to the hypocrat party: the party of the mentally ill.
This Kucinich is such an odd little man.
We need to keep this elftroll in the House for entertainment value.
Which committee do you suppose the Democrats will make Kucinich chairman of nest year?
We should have impeached Clinton on Jan 21,2001. He’ll still have benefits for life and may return to the White House in 2009.
This little troll is so tiresome.
I don’t know, I wish a real conservative would blast Bush for being too liberal and offer impeachment... lol
lol,its a shame to have that knuckle head anywhere in politics,sadly he picks my state to try to start his pod people in. the shame of it all,I would tell people I’m from WV,but thats even worse.
As another poster said, he was able to return after hovering in his spacecraft (and getting a massage from his long, red haired wife--my add.)
vaudine
Some people are on Capitol Hill just for their entertainment value, I guess.
Don't you mean "mentally troubled" since that is all we hear from the demorats as how "troubled" they are about this or that?
Clinton was impeached; he wasn’t convicted.
