Actor Sean Penn called for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney and used the words “bl--job” and “c-m stain” in his acceptance speech for the Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award in New York Monday night, Fox News reports.

The Creative Coalition -- a group started by actors Christopher Reeve, Ron Silver, and Susan Sarandon, among others -- honored Penn with the award before a crowd that included Heather Graham, Laurence Fishburne, Kerry Washington, Harvey Keitel, Marcia Gay Harden, Joe Pantoliano, Richard Belzer, and Richard Schiff.

The famously liberal actor decided to stir the pot in his “impassioned” acceptance speech arguing against the war in Iraq (pausing to answer his cell phone mid-diatribe).

"Let's put his administration under oath," the 46-year-old Oscar-winning actor proposed. "And then if the crimes of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors are proven, do as Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution provides, and remove the president, vice president, and … civil officers of the United States from office."

He added: "If the Justice Department then sees fit to bunk them up with [disgraced former Enron CEO] Jeff Skilling, so be it."

Penn also shocked the crowd by saying: "So look, if we attempt to impeach for lying about a bl--job, yet accept these almost certain abuses without challenge, we become a c-m stain on the flag we wave."
