Barbara Boxer: Call me 'senator' (she tells a Brigadier General...)
Politico ^ | 6/18/09 | Ann Schroeder

Posted on 06/18/2009 7:31:37 AM PDT by pissant

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) didn't like a Brigadier General calling her "ma'am" at an EPW hearing yesterday.

"Do me a favor," she said, "could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?' It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you."

Hear hear, we agree. BB just has a problem with the military and jumped at the chance to try and humiliate it. I would love to see her get her pompus ass voted out of office but the idiots in CA keep electing her.

The Queen of England is regularly addressed as "Ma'am". She'd be aghast if it were otherwise.

In fact, she'd probably throw a snit fit if you said "Queen" to her.

She’s elected and re-elected by one of America’s most ignorant and debased Democrat ridden electorates as well. No honor in that.

Right, but as I said, that’s not good enough for Boxer.

This makes my blood boil!

Senator Airhead obviously doesn't understand that the General once wrote and signed a blank check, made out to the United States of America, for any amount up to and including HIS LIFE and has undoubtedly come close to having it cashed a time or two has more personal integrity in his shoelaces than this dumb b**** has in her entire body!

This General has done more for this country in one day than she has in her entire lifetime!

All that was missing was for her to say, "Do you know who I am?". We don't have a class system in this country Boxer, so calling you Senator is not required. Titles have no place in American society as was originally envisioned.

She ought to be glad that the general wasn't Marcie.

Yep. And by my math, she’s coming up for re-election in 2010.

Let’s roll, shall we?

Anyone coming up to challenge her? Would love to see her defeat.

I do not work in any channel that requires me to follow "protocol", fortunately.

Ten thousand times more respect in the term Ma’am than the term Senator.

Senators are just polidiot trash....

Boxer is a socialist whore IMO who just can’t understand normal thinking .......
