Valerie Jarrett to uniformed general: More wine, garçon!

In Washington, bigwigs can misspeak and misstep a million times without drawing attention. And then there are the seemingly harmless moments that stick to a person like super glue: Joe Wilson barking You lie!; Jesse Jackson mumbling into a hot mic that he wants to castrate Barack Obama; Dan Quayle trying to spell things.

According to our tipster, Jarrett was seated at the head table along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of high-ranking military officials. As an officer sporting several stars walked past Jarrett, she signaled for his attention and said, Id like another glass of wine. Garçon! ...no one pointed out to Jarrett that the man sporting a chestful of medals was not her waiter.
Everyone is in tuxedos and gowns at this thing, but the military people are in full dress uniform.

Unfortunately, throwing it in her face wouldn’t be fitting for a military officer, however, another person seated at that table should have. When we see outrageous, disrespectful behavior it’s our duty to respond, not to remain silent.

Did he call her “Ma’am”? Highly successful people hate it when the military does not address their station in life with proper deference.

I searched for this article to see if it was already posted! My bad.

Typical liberal elitist who has complete lack of respect for the uniform of the country. Bet this won’t be leading the nightly news like it would be if it was a conservative.

He COULD have challenged her to a duel.

Many years ago, while attending an embassy cocktail party, I witnessed an inebriated ambassador's wife to likewise with our military attache. The man was a Marine combat veteran. Wounds received on Iwo Jima had left the man with a glass eye. Having grown tired of her repeated “Oh, boy! Get me a drink!” directives, the the attache retrieved the woman's final Martini of the evening, which consisted of Vodka and his glass eye. The Marines on duty that evening said they could hear the screaming all the way out on the perimeter.

Yeah I think I spelled her name wrong, lol. Moderators, please do the needful.
To: massgopguy
Some uber-lib female Congress-critter openly corrected a General last year about being called “Ma’am” saying she had earned her title.
The funny thing is that “Ma’am” in military protocol is THE highest form of address—correct even for royalty—the equivalent to “Sir.” It is only the enlisted whom you address by specific rank.
To: Weird Tolkienish Figure
Should have thrown it in her face. Wrong. He did the exactly correct thing by fetching her wine and letting her stew in it.

Did you hear the one about the highly decorated veteran that a woman at a Washington cocktail party had her eye on? She asked him why he was alone and he said that his wife had died a while back. She asked him when the last time he had sex was. He answered 1956 ma’am. Overwhelmed with compassion, she led him to the coat room where they made wild love. She was wiped out, but asked if he would do it again since he hadn’t had sex since 1956. He looked at his watch and said “well since it’s only 2300 now, sure”.
