I've been searching for Kerry's senate speech today......
...but have not seen a post or a news flash about it. Did he made a case for Bush's impeachment?

2. That is right wing rumor that he would do that
A twist of Kerry's original statement that he would bring up the Downing Street Memo after he returned to Washington today.

Nothing is scheduled yet as to when he will do this. He only stated his intent to speak about it.

10. And a lot people fell for it hook, line, and sinker
Some people are very quick to believe things, even if they come from right-wing sources, if it reinforces their views and hopes.

3. he didn't speak today as far as I know

And the impeachment thing isn't true. It came from a report in al-Jazeera (sp?), that has been discredited or so I understand.

4. It was first reported on
The Conservative Voice:

The Conservative Voice has twisted one of Kerry's statements reported yesterday, claiming that "Kerry advised that he will begin the presentation of his case for President Bush’s impeachment to Congress, on Monday."

however inadequately.

8. His office said he was planning on doing a floor speech
but not today. I am hoping for tomorrow or Wednesday. Kerry has two sub-cmmittee meetings tomorrow that he might attend. The one in the morning is for Senate Finance and deals with pension funds and what is going on with them in light of what happened to United Airlines. The second sub-comittee that meets is the SFRC sub on East Asian and Pacific Affairs. He is Dem Ranking Member on this and I think they usually have to show. So, I guess he is free after 4:00 tomorrow for a floor speech.

We shall see. Either tomorrow or Wed. (I am betting on Wed. The schedule looks better.)
