“Gawd, I really looked like a b**ch!” exclaimed Mrs. Barbara Boxer, a California politician who occupies a political office in Washington, D.C., as she watched a replay of her disrespectful interruption of Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, during his testimony on the Hurricane Katrina restoration process. The General--who has served his country admirably, risked his life and limb, and devoted his life to preserve the lady’s freedom to disrespect him and others in uniform who are trained to refer to ladies as “Ma’am” and gentlemen as “Sir”--was rudely “dressed down” as they say in the military, as he dared to preface an answer to one of Boxer’s questions with a polite “Ma’am.”
At this point, Ms. Boxer interrupted the General and reminded him that she, Madam Boxer, worked hard to gain a seat in the legislative body of which she is a member, and was therefore entitled to the ultimate respect, deference, and tribute that comes with being a liberal, professional politician whose main accomplishment in Washington has been to tax other people and spend their money.
Invited by Missus Boxer to watch the replay, Stoos Views reporter Hugh Betcha--Chief of The Washington News Bureau--met with Barb at her request so she could issue an apology to the General for her inexcusable disrespect of a United States Army military officer. “I am so sorry for my indefensible behavior,” Missus Boxer stated, “I realize now that the term ‘Madam’ was not meant to be disrespectful to me as a revered member of the elite Washington Political Class.

the poster didn’t put satire in the keywords either
Maybe if this is repeated often enough, Barbie Box-o-rocks may think she actually said this piece od satire....
Ex-senator has a nice ring to it.

She’s no lady. She’s a senator.
The General was wrong in addressing this third-rate, money-grubbing member of the parasite class as a lady. A lady does not speak disrespectfully to others, particularly those who have accomplished far more than this albatross around the neck of the nation will ever accomplish.
Satire, I knew it had to be. No way would Botox Babs admit she is really a bitch.
Nice. BFL.
I thought it was real, until the line about the lower classes, such as servants, etc. Even Babs wouldn’t be so stupid to say that, at least out loud.
Pretty funny article...wish she would own her crap.
So, she really hasn’t apologized?
