If the people in California wish to elect a dunce that is ok with me, however, I do not think our United States Generals need to be subject to one.

Maybe he should have said “Madam Senatrix.”

“Dunce” is right. Like I said on a previous thread, I would have told her that when she starts acting like a senator, maybe I’ll call her senator. Until then, she’s lucky she got the respect she did from the General...she would have gotten NONE from me!

The General should have responded “In my world, Ma’am is a term of respect. If you’d rather be called ‘Senator’ that’s fine with me, Senator”.

He should have called her “Senaturd.” I wonder if she’d been paying attention.

The angry mob (students, illegals, the lazy and stupid, enviro-whackos, etc) DON’T CARE. Boxer rants against “the system” and gets them freebies.

That is all they care about. They don’t care about her corruption, her stupidity or her disingenuous remarks. She is an elitist billionaire Leftist. And will be elected in CA as long as she wants.

She should be Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the World!” but Keith is too much of a sissy creep.

Senator Embarrassment is being kind.

Let me rephrase that......

Calling her "Senator Embarrassment" is being kind.

My former brother-in-law was married to the daughter of a New York State Supreme Court Judge. The guy was an insufferable liberal POS that had been appointed to the court by King Mario the Pious.

He bristled at being addressed in any way other than “Judge”.

Naturally, I always addressed him as “Mr.”

... and the horse he rode in on.

She says, “It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title...”

What she means is she sold her sold her soul to the devil and saying ma’am, reminds her she is a mother...something she despises. Being a mother, to her like Obama, is punishment.

If my son, a lowly E3 just days out of boot camp, was to meet the President of the United States, he would call him, and is instructed to call him, “Sir”

Ma'am was too generic for her. Her asking to be called ‘Senator’ is her way of saying that it is not sufficient to be a decent woman worthy of the proper form of respectful address AND that ma'am is a title which bears NO distinction

Well, so far despite her record the voters seem to think she’s representing them. It matters little what folks outside of her district think. It certainly casts the people in her district in a poor light.

Note I sent to senator Boxer:

Dear Senator Boxer,

Just when I thought the situation in Washington D.C.
could not get crazier, I see you on television
admonishing an Army general for not addressing you as
senator, rather than the polite, madam.

Senator Boxer, beside being an embarrassment to your
office and your state, you are petty and rude. I
normally give you some slack because I realize you are
not particularly intelligent, but I do expect a show of
common courtesy when speaking to a senior military
officer. But then, you never disappoint.

Sincerely,

Reply from her office:
Dear Friend:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent Senate hearing with Brigadier General Michael Walsh. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter.

Shortly after the hearing, I called General Walsh, and we had a friendly and productive conversation. We expressed our respect for one another and our determination to work together to protect our nation and communities from natural disasters.

Thank you again for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me in the future about this or any other issue of concern to you.

Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
