Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.,demanded Brigadier General Michael Walsh to call her "Senator" instead of "ma'am". Senator James Inhofe, R-Ok, on the other hand, was addressed as "sir" by General Peter Pace on January 16, 2007. Unlike Ms. Boxer, Mr. Inhofe did not lecture the General over the issue of calling him "sir".

Boxer’s lucky he didn’t address her as “sir”.....

[jch10]

Ma’am is usually directed to a lady, hence, Barbara Boxer should be called something else.

“Lucky for us she wasn’t popping it.”

We don’t know she wasn’t. And by the look of it, I’d assume she was.

[panthermom]

Well, she is a Boxer, and I believe a female Boxer would be called a Bitch.

BS yourself. Anyone can be a senator if you meet min age and citizen requirements. You can’t just BE a general.

[puroresu]

She may be the biggest damn disgrace in the Senate, and that's saying something.

BS, we have had more than our share of complete failures. I guess you are just not much in the history department.

[ThunderStruck94]

Well troll, I am a 1994 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a BS in history and an Active Duty Navy Commander.

Well La De DA!!, You should know of the complete failure in the command ranks then. The Navy has had a bunch of them.

[ThunderStruck94]

Actually I don’t, please fill us in with all of your military knowledge about the officer corps. I could stand to gain insight and perhaps help my career along given I am such an idiot.

[Billthedrill]

Ah, what “complete failure in the ranks” are you referring to? I’d love to know.

[org.whodat]

No one called you an idiot, and you can read for your self. But how many generals did Lincoln replace??

But the history degree is questionable. LOL

Barbara Boxer doesn’t mind being called Cutie by Barack. Check out the youtube that I put together.

You can call me anything, just don’t call me late for dinner....

Very good video.

Can’t stand her, never have, never will.
