“Brickhead” is the only title which she has earned.

She views being a “senator” as a “title?” Interesting.

My Dad, a military man, was once talking to a man in church and addressed him by his first name. The man corrected him with “I”m sorry, that would be Dr. Smith”.

At the end of the conversation, the doctor said “see you later Roger”.

My dad replied “I’m sorry, that would be Colonel Jones”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the bitch has the right as a Senator to be addressed as she wishes. Now lets more on to the next petty topic!

The arrogance of these frickin PUBLIC SERVANTS has become simply unbearable. Clearly, they no longer think of themselves as subservient representatives of the people who elected them, but an elite privileged ruling class.

I wish the General hadn’t held his tongue. Yes, he was being respectful and professional, but in this case it does none of any good to continue pumping the egos of these career politicians. It just reinforces their arrogance.

But alphabetically it is just a step down from the “B’s”.

"I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it."

"I need constant public recognition of power, you understand."

Darn right, he did. She's pathetic.

It’s her right and polite to respond as she asked.

I would have replied: “I am not from California, mamn. Ergo you are not my Sentator, so that honorific would be innappropriate.”

Seriously, isn’t “ma’am” or “sir” the appropriate title for a superior?

You generally refer to a person by their rank (with the exception of the captain of a ship) when that person is an inferior officer or enlisted, as in “Sgt, report to the XYZ” or “Lt, follow the Sgt to the XYZ and find out how it’s done.”

It is truly a sad commentary on contemporary democracy that such a loud mouth yenta and obnoxious witch could rise to such an august body as the U.S. Senate.

I think we should go back to the days when the state legislators elected U.S. Senators. Back then we had much higher quality statesmen.

Col. Jessep - “I would appreciate it if he would address me as Colonel or Sir. I believe I’ve earned it. “

Better be careful and call her Senator or you know the next thing out of her mouth will be...

“I’m gonna rip the eyeballs out of your head and piss in your dead skull!”

Sen. Boxer Instructs Brigadier General Not to Call Her ‘Ma’am’
Senator Boxer is physically diminutive, standing at 4'11".
Boxer has short Senator's syndrome...

Randy Newman, bless his pointy little head, comes to mind:

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
`Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here
