Hey Barabas,

Or should we just call ya' "Babs", "Broad", "Blinky", or "Blow Hard"?

I’m surprised he didn’t call her ‘sir’.

The General should have known, you never address somebody with a female honorific if you can’t be sure whether or not they’re sporting a unit down there.

No, she doesn’t owe him an apology. The people of CA owe the apology for their lack of intelligence in repeatedly picking Boxer.

It is what it is. She stated her reason and the Brigadier General took it in stride. Unlike "senators", the General had to work his way up through all the ranks (and really earn his title), so he knows what to expect and how to roll with it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it to where he is.

(channeling lefty brain)..She was elected by The People...why should she apologize to some overgrown Boy Scout?

The Military is no where near the top of their "People of Respect" list.

She was right to rebuke him.

Calling someone ma’am is an expression indicating respect to a superior. On the other hand, “senator” is a expression used to describe someone who is grifting, sleazy, and two-faced — someone undeserving of respect. Senator is the proper address for someone like Barbara Boxer.

Ive always equated the title senator with low down rotten theavin'SOB.

Why is that something to be proud of?

Beck did a very funny rant about Boxer today. He’s right she should have been the one showing the respect.

I know is his position the general had to call her senator, but it would have been wonderful if he kept calling her Ma’am. I wonder what she would have done?

Did she address him as General? I doubt it because this radical leftist despises the military.
He should have said to her “I’m sorry, Ma’m, you are not in my chain of command and I don’t take orders from you. Henceforth you will refer to me as General, Sir!”

I think Boxer was just revealing her true personality. Why should she apologize? NPelosi never did, and look what happened to her - nothing.

Typical Senatorial stupidity across the board. The Senate and all of its members literally stink. It's evidently a Constitutional requirement.

Arrogant twit. Senator is not a rank and she does not, contrary to democrat party beliefs, rule anyone. She holds a public trust as a public servant and does not rule or hold a position over anyone, even a general. These new Nazis believe that they rule rather than serve.

Personally I think the Brigadier General and all of us should highlight the word “Senator” because is so far beneath the term “ma’am.” She DOES deserve to be called a Senator,,she HAS earned it and all the grotesque and bloated attributes of it. It’s a title equivalent to corrupt “Sleazebag” or “Little Miss Big Ego.” She should wear it on a badge! She is one of a very few who thinks it is something to be proud of. It’s pretty close to the rank of pedophile except, instead of sexually molesting children, her and her cronies have SCREWED the children of future generations by their own self-serving actions. She is truly clueless as to how she denigrates herself by the behavior she exhibits.

She can’t say anything because the first person she should apologize to is to herself, the big fat idiot she is.

Only if she were of lower rank as officer would she be called by her specific title.

I just called and told her that I was absolutely outraged that she would talk to any member of the military in her tone; that both officers and enlisted use the terms “sir” and “ma’am” even when they don’t respect the individual but respect the position. I then went on to say that she is a disgrace to California and the US Senate and that I was embarrassed that I EVER lived in California. Bitch!
