pull the EGI fuse in the engine fuse compartment. crank the engine, it should start up for a few seconds. if you're quick enough you can run out and pop the fuse back in. if not, the car will die, then you can pop in the fuse and start it up.
if that doesnt work, you'll have to pull the plugs out and crank it to get all the crap out, then try and start it.
i think theres an unflooding procedure somewhere here but i cant find the link.

Its under the hood, on the drivers side, right infront of the shock tower. Its in a case with about 5 other fuses. The lid should tell you which one it is.

you dont even have to get out of the car
This is tough to explain, but try to follow. There is a black box, about the size that a wedding ring would come in, that has a wire harness plugged into it. This little box is clipped up under the dash on the right side of the steering column. Reach up under there and unclip it, and then unplug it, turn the car over and plug it back in when the engine starts to speed up again. Not easy because the key and box are on some side, funny looking position required. If this doesnt work the first time try again, takes practice.

These unflooding threads are popping up daily at the moment, and every time I read them nearly everyone forgets the most important part about the unflooding procedure. After disabling the fuel flow (pulling the EGI fuse, unplugging the relay, flicking your switch), you crank the engine with the gas pedal held down. This pumps freah air through the engine to quickly clear the excess fuel out without overstressing the starter motor and battery.

Actually he's right. The fuel pump relay is a black box with a yellow plug.
