Oh crap, problem guy’s making problems again, or at least a Modest Fuss. We’ve read his statement (WHY? WHY?) and can already envision the upcoming compromise that the White House will agree to immediately.
I have always supported the longstanding, bipartisan effort to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. I believe, however, that any reductions in our nuclear stockpile must be accompanied by an appropriate modernization plan to bring our aging nuclear weapons complex, our warheads, and our delivery systems up to 21st century standards. My vote on the START Treaty will thus depend in large measure on whether I am convinced the Administration has put forward an appropriate and adequately-funded plan to sustain and modernize the smaller nuclear stockpile it envisions.
I also remain deeply concerned that — regardless of the merits of the NPR and START on paper — we are losing the real world fight to prevent rogue regimes like Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. If Iran continues on its current trajectory and crosses the nuclear threshold, it will inflict irreparable harm on the global nonproliferation regime.
In other words, drop two (2) nukes on Iran, and he’ll sign the damn Russian Bear’s treaty. We need to look past our differences and forge compromises, you guys!

BONERKILLER!
I agree — providing this “smaller nuclear stockpile” is located in Joe’s rectum.
Dear Barry:
Bomb Connecticut, stat.
Thank you.
The remaining Lower 48.
If they put a missile silo in the backyard at Chez Lieberman, would that bring Jowly Joe on board?
G.I. Jew!
A Real American Hebrew!
G.I. Jew is there!
[re=551817]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: i think if it’s done right, it just might leave only a lower 47 behind. and come to think of it, it would be a shame not to nuke texas.
I didn’t know Connecticut has a nuclear weapons stockpile sustainment and modernization facility.
Where’s Murtha when you need him?
I thought your headline meant that Joe killed Jesus Christ. Oh, the jokes this could start…
oh, and i also want a pony.
Joe
xoxox
[re=551824]Crank Tango[/re]: I mean, to be Bipartisan, at very least.
[re=551824]Crank Tango[/re]: Hahaha. MATHS iz HARD.
And a treaty with Russia affects Iran obtaining weapons in what way exactly?
Just more stupid posturing on Lieberman’s part.
[re=551831]cheeto_jeebus[/re]: you want fries with that too?
Nobody really cares about your vote right now, Joe, since it your position will most likely change as the winds of career cost/benefit analysis blow. Can’t wait until your reelection campaign finally starts though, sometime in the dim not-soon-enough reaches of the future, you ancient, wheezing, vomilicious turd.
Problem Guy iz problematic. But he bringz dah funnee. Didn’t, like, Reagan do this too, this START thingie?
Dear Senator Lieberman,
You are aware that Israel has nuclear weapons, aren’t you?
Sincerely, gurukalehuru
[re=551833]mumblyjoe[/re]: fair and balanced and all.
[re=551828]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: present company excluded, of course.
[re=551835]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: i blame that survey.
The title of this post says it all for me.
Of course if the Senator from Aetna bothered to read the 76page document he would find all his answers right there in plain english with no big words so even a Teabagger could understand.
Chair recognizes the Senator from Israel…
My vote on START Treaty will will depend on Admin’s plan to sustain and modernize threats against Iran. And I will not Retweet.
You know who ELSE had a plan to sustain and modernize his stockpile of weapons?
Translation: The Republicans haven’t told me how to vote yet, so my answer is sufficiently obscurely conditional to justify whatever I’m supposed to do once they tell me.
Joe will vote for this treaty when his constituency in Israel tells him to.
I’m waiting to see what some intellectual heavyweights like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann have to say before I come to any opinion on this.
Can somebody remind me again why the Dems haven’t beaten this smarmy little shit to death with a sack of doorknobs?
Tell you what, rather than nuke CT (which is really lovely), can’t Hopey just bomb the fucking Senate? I’ll bet he can even get House authorization for it.
[re=551862]Mr Blifil[/re]: Oh, snap!
Nuclear stockpile decisions should be above the pay grade of anyone wrong more than 50% of the time.
[re=551865]Hemp Dogbane[/re]: It’s too bad, because they were just about to offer a new app which let you launch nuclear missiles using Twitter from your iPhone.
It’s weird that he never has anything to say about Israel’s illegal nuclear weapons programs.
Please, let Joe keep flappin his jowls. This won’t last much longer.
Why is National Public Radio negotiating our nuclear treaties? Terry Gross is not change we can believe in.
Guano Faucet = cloacal joogoo
Will someone please show Liebs how to masturbate his penis? His media jizzing makes me nauseous.
Dear Joe Bag o’Wind.
I, personally, cannot wait to vote for whomever runs against you in the next election. Your view in this matter makes me think that you are, perhaps, also being paid a handsome sum by a company that might be the manufacturer of new and updated warheads. I wonder if they pay you as much as the insurance companies. Are you actually saying that the warheads we have now can’t obliterate Russia or Iran well enough? My understanding is that we could have (to steal from your pal Boner) “Armageddon” ten times over with the number of nuclear weapons we have. And you want to make them better, stronger, faster?
I’ll jump for joy when you no longer represent my fair state.
In other words, Joe’s vote depends on who offers to blow him first? Win GOP!
I am carefully analyzing all sides of the issue and will release a statement as soon as I check Sarah Palin’s facebook status.
haha, so basically if we pay a bazillion dollars to have 10 warheads that equal the power of the previous 10,000 we have, then we’ll have a literal reduction in the number of nukes we can deploy….
[re=551953]carlgt1[/re]: That’s the whole thing; Joe is just saying simply dismantling a bunch of old nukes is not nearly spendy enough. There’s got to be a way in this deal to funnel some more large piles of money to Raytheon and General Dynamics. Otherwise we’ll just blow it on health care or some damn thing.
[re=551934]Ripley_in_CT[/re]: Nicely done. I do longer hate your state so much.
That li’l Lieberman guy sure thinks a awful lot of hisself, don’t he? Where’s someone like LBJ when you really actually need him to grind this li’l ol’ toadstool under a boot heel like he’s just been a-askin’ for for I don’t know how long now.
[re=551824]Crank Tango[/re]: And Alabama. And South Carolina. And hell, why not Mississippi while we’re at it. Wouldn’t miss most of Kentucky nor Virginia neither if they were gone as well.
[re=551974]MsNicky[/re]: Please don’t nuke me, MsNicky. I’m one of you. I can’t help if I live in a state full of ignorant crackers. Trucknutz also. See?
[re=551974]MsNicky[/re]: You can take Kentucky as long as you leave Louisville. The Derby’s coming and that’s a lot of fun. Plus Louisville’s all librul and ghey, which we like here at the Wonkette, si?
[re=551974]MsNicky[/re]: [re=551985]bamaboy[/re]: i say we clear all the teabaggers out of northern oklafornia where I live and all you kids can come live here. We have all the mountains and country you could want, and the ocean is just a couple of hours away. Also, medical marijuana.
[re=551875]Lono65[/re]: So you’re saying we need a bunker filibuster bomb?
There are nuclear submarines based in Connecticut, yes? Joe votes against this, they better be first on the chopping block.
He must have gotten his marching orders from Netanyahu.
[re=551924]I Heart Accuracy[/re]: Ok! So much for my grilled cheese sandwich. Uh. For those of you already barfing, did you know that Lieberman’s horse-faced wife addresses him as “Joey”? Keep going, they’ll turn into dry heaves quicker this way.
[re=551874]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: I’m waiting to see what some intellectual heavyweights like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann have to say before I come to any opinion on this.
Palin: “We need a commander in chief, not an appeaser in chief. When that Russian bear wakes up from hibernatin’ and scrambles his fighter jets over Alaska my great home state where God’s natural resources and this great country of ours that I just love so much gosh darnit!”
Bachmann: “This treaty will replace the American Dollar with the Soviet Euro and create an army of Red Communist I.R.S. agents. This treaty must not pass!”
Now that health insurance reform is done, and the Naked Senator has been seated, Vinegar Joe feels a little irrelevant, no?
[re=551985]bamaboy[/re]: [re=551994]ArugulaTeleprompterz[/re]: Oh hey y’all, I’m just talkin’ outa my ass. Hell-far, I live in TennASSsee fer crissakes. I’d include two-thirds of this retarded state in the nukefest, ‘long as I’m safely tucked away up here in the glorious Smoky Mountains. Just round up and deport the plethoric tard masses and we’re good to go.
[re=551995]Crank Tango[/re]: Mountains, ocean and pot? Now yer talkin’.
The great and powerful Likud Party has spoken!
Oh God no. Make it go away, please. Feed it a cookie, or a maatzoh or just spray it with bug spray, but make that goblin troll just disappear. Please. I’ll say 100,000 Hail Marys and wash the wounds of lepers in Calcutta for a year if you do.
[re=551974]MsNicky[/re]: Feel free to put Arizona in there, too. Just give me fair warning so I can go visit my friends in San Diego.
[re=552040]MsNicky[/re]: I would beg of you to spare Memphis, or at least Downtown and Midtown (which is chock full of ghez) and the parts of East Memphis that have decent shopping. Feel free to paint a huge-ass BOMB RAT CHEER target on the ‘burbs like Collierville and Germantown (aka TN-7, home of Marsha Blackburn). Oh, and anywhere that voted for Ophelia Ford.
I have always supported the longstanding, bipartisan effort to…blah blah.
When I hear the word “bipartisan,” it makes me want to reach for my gun. (Apologies to Hermann Goering or Hanns Johst or whoever the fuck said it.)
I, personally, cannot wait to vote for whomever runs against you….
It’s “whoever.” The word “for” takes the whole clause as an object, so the subject of the clause is in the nominative case.
Better still, just stop using “whom.” It’s going out of style anyway. Pretty soon Americans will just grunt at each other, as they do where I live.
That’s quite a Twat you have there, Joe.
So let me get this straight.
Joe will only vote to defuse an arms race if he is guaranteed that there will immediately be a newer, more expensive, more deadly arms race?
Got it.
Also, fuck you Joe, you duplicitous douchebag.
Also, fuck you Joe, you duplicitous douchebag.
But how does smitallica really feel about Joe Lieberman?
On Drudge right now:
GINGRICH: Obama ‘most radical president ever’…
LIMBAUGH: Obama ‘inflicting untold damage on this great country’…
PALIN: Obama’s Nuke Stance Like Kid Who Says ‘Punch Me in Face’…
LIZ CHENEY: Obama Putting America on ‘Path to Decline’…
SAVAGE: ‘Obama The Destroyer’…
Well, we do have to depend on him for the 60th vote on every piece of legislation. Better do what he says. Or Biden could have the CIA poison him and just be done with this bullshit. No, let’s just do what he says.
This is why Jews were not allowed to participate in the Imperial State Russian Duma. Just sayin.’
[re=552063]Aurelio[/re]: The other way, which is easier as it avoids such mind numbing words as nominAhmadinejadative, is to simply replace who/whom with he/him and see which sounds right. “vote for he (who) runs against you” sounds awkward, but “vote for him (whom) runs against you” is easy to spot as wrong.
[re=551862]Mr Blifil[/re]: “Chair recognizes the Senator from Israel…”
Awww shoot, now!
I can just imagine the sex between him and Hadassah. Everything is conditional, and it’s rife with safe words. It’d be like a hostage negotiation.
[re=552056]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Yeah okay, parts of Memphis can stay, mainly for historical purposes and of course Ellllllvis.
[re=552083]Aurelio[/re]: Palin still has no idea that hero Reagan negotiated and encouraged arms’ treaties. When will somebody please gently break this “news” to her?
We should give Connecticut to the Chinese in partial payment of our debts. Lieberman problem solved.
[re=552083]Aurelio[/re]: These motherfuckers have a LOT of nerve saying this kind of stuff in NEW ORLEANS, fercrissakes. Not that I would accuse any Republican of having a short memory or utterly lacking irony, but seriously, holding their GOP FapFest in the city they allowed to nearly drown?
Obama: I have no plan to sustain and modernize the smaller nuclear stockpile that is still big enough to destroy the world many times over.
GI Jew: okay. Just checking.
I had no idea Joe was one of the Oak Ridge Boys. Why not ask him if it’s okay, given his deep fondness for the stuff, to keep all our radioactive leftovers in Connecticut?
“So what if we do develop this solaronite bomb? We’d be even a stronger nation than now.”
“Stronger. You see? You see? Your stupid minds!…Stupid! Stupid!!”
[re=551970]MsNicky[/re]: Perhaps Joe is suffering from some bunghole-pants-room issues…
