Here is video from a local news interview of California Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer defending her demand last year of U.S. Brigadier General Michael Walsh to call her "Senator," instead of his use of the polite term, "Ma'am." This video also shows the exchange she had with the General.
Boxer made the demand during a hearing on Capitol Hill. In the interview, she defended the demand as the only time in 18 years she has requested that she be called by her "title." She said if her political opponents want to make an issue of it, "Be my guest."
Oh, I'm sure the Republican nominee will make an issue of it, and should. It shows her arrogance and reveals a lot about her character.

title is incorrect. should be 2009, not 2010.
For a moment, I thought she'd done it again.

Her argument, that she never did this before except to the general, is not helping her. Her voters expect her , at the very least , to be unpleasant to a General . Hillary's snark to General Petraeus about suspending her disbelief doesn't seem to have hurt her with the rats .

I wish that the general had answered with something like, “and do you think I got these stars in a Crackerjack box, SENATOR?”Yup. I guarantee the General worked harder for his title than she worked for hers.
I also guarantee that the General is just fine with being called "sir."

I wish that the general had answered with something like, “and do you think I got these stars in a Crackerjack box, SENATOR?” Absolutely wonderful comeback! Of course the general has too much class to make her look like the bimbo that she is.

I hope she ends up sleeping in a cardboard box in some nameless park in San Fransisco. ...with a long-term wino as a 'roommate'.

The “Let’s call her former Senator Boxer” ads cannot be far away.
