Saw Ann on Beck tonight, and she doesn’t know how to handle him...it was a hoot. He kept trying to gross her out with cookie dough.

Mrs Boxer is pathetic. To make the statement to a military General about how much she has done to arrive where she is is breathtaking.

The only thing I want to know is that Babs told the general to call her Senator because she “earned it”. I want to know what the hell she did to earn anything. She makes it sound like it’s actually work rather than the money-making cush job it is. And she did nothing to earn it other than get her name on a ballot.

Geez, some of these Lords need to be taken down a notch or two.

Boxer is pathetic, and breathtakingly ignorant. The honorifics "Sir" and "Ma'am" are, as I understand it, within protocol for addressing a government official.

Her petulant demand to be addressed as "Senator" only goes to demonstrate her own sense of inferiority and insecurity. Her interrupting the General shows her rudeness and self-centered nature. To anyone in her district, take note. She seems to have some issues about herself. She is probably not thinking about you, her constituents.

Military families should descend on DC and start the chant of: SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! directed at Ma’am Boxer.

Every Conservative and Republican should now and forevermore refer to her as Ma’am Boxer.

It’s certainly easier to buy the Senator title than to earn Brigadier General.

Boxer is arrogant and ignorant all year round, even without making the “ma’am” comment. She never fails in being arrogant and ignorant!

” To anyone in her district, take note”

Although her home district is the human sewer of San Francisco her district is the entire State since it is a Senator.

” General, You are a loser because you had to go into the Army and we know that only the Dumbest people go into the military, I on the other hand am a Senator which means that I am smarter that anyone except other senators and the president.”
That is reall what she was saying.

Over the years many of our politicians have proved their ignorance.

Of late the term Arrogant is being used more and more to describe our "elected servants".

As a peasant I detest their arrogance.

We no longer have a government that is “of the people, by the people and for the people.” We are lowlife slaves at the mercy of a bunch of Marxist, Commie pigs. THEY are going to tell us how to live, how much money we are allowed to earn, how much money we are allowed to keep and how much healthcare we are allowed to receive according to our age and life style. Of course, we will all be expected to kneel when we address our “leaders”. We just aren’t allowed to look them in the eyes.

On another thread they had his response to her request to call her senator.

He replied:

"Yes Ma'am".

I just listened to it on Glenn Beck/Ann Coulter thread. Immediately after her request, the General respectfully called her "Senator". Maybe he reverted to Ma'am again in a later comment. Good for him!

I would like to have seen him get up and walk out.

“I want to know what the hell she did to earn anything. “

Simple. She married money. Ran for senate and was losing. Then about two days before election night, she released a story that that Bruce Hershonson (her opponent) had gone to a strip club called the Seven Veils. Voila, she’s no longer ma’am.

Senator Boxer does not understand or appreciate just what the term “Ma am” means in the military.

It is akin to “Sir” and it represents the highest form of respect that one can give to another in that context.

I mean, calling someone “Sir” or “Ma am” even if you never even met them before is simply a sign of appreciation of one’s station.

Boxer totally does not “get it.”

And she serves in the Senate?

It is normally used when addressing a superior. Perhaps he erred in the use of "Ma'am" and the use of 'senator' is more appropriate.

I recall hearing that Bruce went to that club in the company of his wife and another couple. Not as though he was sitting there on his lonesome being festooned with g-strings and whatnot.

Bruce and a woman went with another couple. The Dems released it the last few days before the election at the same time Lawrence Walsh indicted Caspar Weinberger to pull Clinton across the finish line. It was the precursor to the drunk driving story that nearly sunk Bush.

Bruce was giving a speech and Boxer's thugs verbally attacked him and had television video cameras recording everything for maximum saturation. It was a setup. The Dems were winning everywhere, but Bruce had inched ahead. To them the end always justifies the means, and they have the press to amplify, attack, or knock down whatever they want.

Bruce barely lost. He was the strongest member of the GOP ticket in 1992, an unabashed conservative and one of the nicest people in the world. Boxer is a shrew. Words cannot describe this loud, brazen witch. Enough conservatives probably stayed home to push Boxer across. Clinton and Feinstein won in wipeouts. They didn't need to cheat unless you count Perot being in the race as deliberately helpful to Clinton.

Wellllllll

Ms Boxer,

when you act like a patriotic Senator, I may be inclined to call you Senator.

Until then, I’ll call em as I see em and refer to you as “M’am” because that’s the way my mamma raised me.

Besides, it’s a durn bit better than the calling you the “haughty traitorous bitch” you deserve to be called.
