She's only got a gripe if he's addressing the male senators as Senator and her as Ma'am. It's more likely he's calling the men Sir and the women ma'am.

Perhaps Babs is sesitive to being referred to as a madam.

This reminds me of the scene from that Jack Nicholson movie with Tom Cruise....
Help me out here....
The movie where Nicholson is the Colonel and Cruise is the government lawyer....
Anyway, Boxer ain’t qualified to scrape mud from the bottom of my boots; the General should have told her to apply negative oral pressure to his junk.

But I thought you told me to call you Leo?

That was at the office. At home I want you to call me Dr. Marvin.

You’re allowed to address the Queen of England as “ma’am.”

The ironic thing is in military parlance, to call someone by their rank, instead of “Sir” or “Ma’am,” is reserved for enlisted personnel—NOT officers.

General Smith: “Sergeant Jones, a great job there.”
Sergeant Jones: “Thank you sir.”

People, you have to understand something. Sen. Boxer did work hard to earn the title “Senator”.

She hasn’t done a darn thing to earn the respect of being called a Madam.

I’m from Texas. We call women Ma’am. It’s a unspoken law.

Liberal Women politicians from California... that’s another thing.

“ma’am” might imply she is a lady, so senator is just fine with me.

I long for the days when I was called “Miss,” myself. I don’t mind being called “Ma’am” since I am of a certain age.

Don’t call me “Mizz,” though. It reminds me of being in grade school with kids who could not speak clearly.

That said, I would never school someone on proper address in front of others. That would be demeaning to them. I hope that’s not the effect she wanted to achieve.

Call me senator! "I worked so hard to get that title"

These clowns pay tens of millions of dollars and market themselves exactly like cures for hemorrhoids are marketed and Barbara "Check bouncer" Boxer says that it's hard work. Go figure.

This SENATOR needs to be replaced. Then we can all call her FORMER SENATOR. How’s that, maam?

I would call this woman “bitch”. She is quite lucky he didn’t call her that.

Upon first greeting, the Queen of England’s honorific “your majesty” is proper protocol. For second or subsequent responses, “ma’am” is appropriate. So, Barbara Blockhead is more important than the queen and must hear her title used each time? I guess in her twisted, left wing pea-brain, yes.

Does The Witch address him as “GENERAL”? or “HEY! YOU!” which is typical for the RATS when addressing AMERICA’S MILITARY HEROS and LEADERS!
