>>Just don’t try that on *Senator* Boxer .<<

LORDY NO!

Thanks :)

(actually I would LOVE to have mrs. boxer pull that on me in public. I would be more than happy to remind he that SHE works for ME).

See, that's my point. There's not much chance that I'll get the chance to rebuke Senator Boxer in person for her standing on ceremony in her dealings with a general in the US Army. And, IMHO, even less reason to expect that Sarah Palin would ever put on airs like that. So the only way to express my sense of that difference is, hopefully without being too stuffy about it, to model (and in this case to promote) the use of the respectful Governor when referring to Mrs. Palin.

You have convinced me. From here on out I will refer to Governor Palin as just that. “Mrs. Palin” felt a little stilted but I thought it was proper.

But babs pugilisitica will be “babs” to me — on FR and, (hopefully) in public :)
