Sen. Barbara Boxer of California instructs Brigadier General Michael Walsh not to call her "ma'am," the sign of respect shown by members of the military towards non-military ... she wants to be called "Senator," because gosh darn it, she worked hard for that position.
No further comment necessary, but I'm looking forward to them anyway.
Words fail.
It’s okay, thanks.
“I’m sorry - er - SENATOR Ma’am.”
These people are off their Med’s.
‘Take a pill, dork. I’m a General! Pull-leeze...’
Did any male members object to being called “sir” or did he address them as senator and only single out her as “ma’am”? I could see a slight if that were the case, otherwise, she is seeing a slight where there is none.
Oh, that post was just the tip of the iceberg. Just as Boxer somehow finds just enough dirt on her opponents at the last minute to squeek out a reelection, she really got dirty with the Hamilton issue.
EVEN THOUGH the runway had limited weight bearing capacity (its max aircraft landing weight was equivalent to an empty 737), her forces promised myriad heavy commercial aircraft flying along the Marin population corridor should an airport use be continued.
EVEN THOUGH she promised a town hall type meeting where everyone could express their thoughts, she came blasting in late with an attorney friend, spoke for no more than five minutes, and then left after refusing to take any questions from those supporting aviation. I thought it very interesting that, after talking about nature, solar power, the environment, coexistance with mother Gaia, she left in a huge red Cadillac convertable with white leather interior. Hmmm.
EVEN THOUGH Hamilton could at the most support only a small commuter type turboprop aircraft in limited commercial operations, the night before the election a very loud old 727 (pre engine hush kits) made several passes up and down the highway 101 population corridor in Marin County. Coincidence?
She’s was a very dirty politician with delusions of grandeur when she was just a county supervisor. WHY would expect any improvement as a senator? Truely, she can’t understand normal thinking. IMHO.
Ooo! That's massively dirty. Why doesn't it surprise me? Too bad Ben Gifford's not running for Senate till 2012. Who can take her down? I'd love to see a candidate with a military background - that would keep her disgraceful behavior from today in the forefront.
Yes Maammal
Senator Barbara Boxer of California, “Where are your manners?” Wouldn’t it have been nicer for you to inform Brigadier General Michael Walsh away from the media of your preference. Maybe I should mail you my manners book by Elizabeth L. Post. There are no excuses for poor manners.
I can’t believe how pompous she is. She didn’t earn that title. I’ll bet she would actually prefer for us peons to bow before her and address her as “Your Highness”.
She is from California
Even worse—boxer-short was born in New Yawk City.
Short person syndrome-—and she is really short in physical as well as mental stature.
She and Mikulsky
I would have responded, “Fine Senator. I bled for my title, you WILL call me Brigadier General.”

By the way biatch it’s “Brigadier General”. He worked a lot harder for that tittle then you did sucking up for votes.
