I would call this woman “bitch”. She is quite lucky he didn’t call her that.

"What a bitch".

I knew one of her former interns. While the ex-intern is still a committed leftie, she described Boxer as willing to throw any of her aides or interns under the bus whenever she seemed to look bad in the media. My guess is that Boxer is a narcissist of the first degree.

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.

What other effect could she be attempting to acheive?

Term Limits!

If there was ever a justification for term limits, this type of arrogance should be it.

Upon first greeting, the Queen of England’s honorific “your majesty” is proper protocol. For second or subsequent responses, “ma’am” is appropriate. So, Barbara Blockhead is more important than the queen and must hear her title used each time? I guess in her twisted, left wing pea-brain, yes.

BTW, I've never had a real doctor ever tell me to call them "Dr." Most of the good ones tell me to cut it out.

I used to have a doctor whom I addressed as "doc". But then, he started his medical career as a corpsman, knew that not all corpsmen attained that high praise and that was why I called him that.

Does The Witch address him as “GENERAL”? or “HEY! YOU!” which is typical for the RATS when addressing AMERICA’S MILITARY HEROS and LEADERS!

In some Slavic languages kurva means "whore"--I don't know if that is its connotation in Russian too.

Who was the General she disrespected by not addressing him with his title and by speaking in that tone of voice without so much as the common courtesy of calling him sir?

I’d like to put his record of earning his title up against how “hard she worked” for her title.

What a clueless, self-centered, example of emptiness we have sitting in positions of power in our country, when a nothing twit like Barbara Boxer can address an officer in our military in that tone.

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

I respectfully disagree. A Madam gives value for value.

Boxer is already Mentally Challenged enough that she should be committed to an Altheimer Unit Post Haste!

“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.”

I really wish one of the CEOs or Oil company execs would have slammed one of these arrogant SOBs.

Something to the effect of.

“Senator Boxer, lets get one thing straight I’m a US citizen and taxpayer and you are a public servant. Which means I’M YOUR BOSS, YOU WORK FOR ME, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. IS THAT CLEAR ROGER RAMJET!

Indeed, she is stupid. The only time if, say, an Lt is called Lt, is only when called m a superior.

Boxer just asked him to call her to an inferior rank.

Another military illiterate - military hating, libtard strikes its foot in mouth again.
