I’m from Texas. We call women Ma’am. It’s a unspoken law.

Liberal Women politicians from California... that’s another thing.

“ma’am” might imply she is a lady, so senator is just fine with me.

I long for the days when I was called “Miss,” myself. I don’t mind being called “Ma’am” since I am of a certain age.

Don’t call me “Mizz,” though. It reminds me of being in grade school with kids who could not speak clearly.

That said, I would never school someone on proper address in front of others. That would be demeaning to them. I hope that’s not the effect she wanted to achieve.

I am sure the General put more into getting his stars than than she did to sit in her chair.

When will SOMEONE give it back to these jerks in hearings? Who will call them a liar? Who will detail their corruption? Who will fight fire with fire?

Howard Hughes did, Ollie North and Brendan Sullivan did. WHEN will an exec being grilled on using a bizjet trhro Nancy Pelosis jet right in their face?

Congress is held in contempt by most people, someone could get away with it EASILY.

Call me senator! "I worked so hard to get that title"

These clowns pay tens of millions of dollars and market themselves exactly like cures for hemorrhoids are marketed and Barbara "Check bouncer" Boxer says that it's hard work. Go figure.

Calling her A Madam is fitting for the work she does.

This SENATOR needs to be replaced. Then we can all call her FORMER SENATOR. How’s that, maam?
