That's Senator 'Cutie'

Since Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., reprimanded Brigadier General Michael Walsh for calling her "Ma'am" instead of "Senator," the blogosphere is taking swipes at the senator from California. While apology demanders should not hold their collective breaths anytime soon, here is a flashback from a February 22, 2007 San Francisco Chronicle piece:

[Recovering_Democrat]

I suggest everyone address her as “toots” from now on.

[Venturer]

Compared to Michelle, she is a “cutie” .

Still: I wouldnt call her that. I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

[reagan_fanatic]

In a just world, she would be called prisoner 11938572.

[MrB]

The reason she took offense at being addressed as “Ma’am” was that it recognized her gender. In her twisted liberal feminist “logic”, she considers that an insult instead of a sign of respect.

[Sgt_Schultze]

I’ll stick with cupid stunt.

Obama, speaking at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, raised eyebrows Monday at a fundraiser for Sen. Barbara Boxer when, as we reported, the Illinois Senator described his Democratic colleague from California as "a fighter, a leader, a charmer, a cutie."

A charmer, a cutie????? I suppose if you are married to MO then possibly anybody would look good.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What a puke.

[Frank_2001]

Either “toots” or “baby”!;) Seriously, her remarks demonstrate an attitude of condescending contempt for the military, which is found quite often among leftists.

[Ditto]

The reason she took offense at being addressed as “Ma’am” was that it recognized her gender. In her twisted liberal feminist “logic”, she considers that an insult instead of a sign of respect.

I guess Barney Frank would act the same way if you called him Sir.

[Clioman]

That woman is not a senator. Strictly speaking, she’s a senatrix. But ‘asshat’ would work, too.

[onedoug]

Not even Senator is foul enough.

[Clioman]

You mean Bonney Fwank?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Hearing about the “ma’am” flap made me think of Dr. Evil.

“I didn’t spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called Mister, thank you very much!

[Ax]

I’m wondering why the general didn’t say something like “Senator, I wish you would address me as ‘general’; I’ve worked for many years to attain this star.”

[Navy Patriot]

I apologize, Senator Bouncer.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I prefer Asshat Boxer.....but that’s just me....

[scooter2]

“Hey, bitch” would be the proper salutation for Baba Boxer.

[noah]

I LUV BABRA!!
She’s soooooo CUTE & tell’s it EXACTLY like it strikes her.
WHoooops!
She forgot that “elected officials” are PUBLIC SERVANTS!!!!
Let’s NOT be HARD.... on BARBRA!! The rest all feel the same way TOO!
She just had the STUPIDIDY to SAY IT!!!

[Don Corleone]

I wonder what the hourly rate for an ex-senatora on the street is these days? Its the only thing she’s fit for anyway considering that she’s been practicing the worlds oldest profession in the Congress for so long.
