Barbara "Call Me Senator" Boxer Shows Disrespect to Brigadier General
http://youtube.com/v/lp-4HTToYHE
In this video, the odious, imperious Barbara Boxer takes offense at being addressed as "ma'am" by a very respectful brigadier general. She actually interrupted his testimony to condescendingly demand that he call her by her title, "senator." Well, I could think of a few other things to call her.

It seems to elude this very ignorant politician that military men are trained to refer to superiors as "sir" and "ma'am"; it is subordinates who are addressed with titles (e.g., private, lieutenant). And Dictionary.com defines the term in this manner: "ma'am n. Used as a form of polite address for a woman." So, Boxer should realize . . . . Well, then again, maybe she's right. Maybe "ma'am" isn't an appropriate thing to call her.

Boxer is a typical feminist woman, the kind who would probably get upset if you held a door for her (I know what I would do with the door, too). If I had been the general, I would have replied to her request with, "Yes, ma'am" and then continued without missing a beat.

    “Senator” Boxer is supposed to represent me in my home state of California. I have a more appropriate term of address for her: Mental Midget.

    There is some stuff going around about Barbara Boxer being a madam. This stuff is just nuts! Barbara Boxer is not a madam. Period. End of story. I know because, if she was a madam I would have voted for her. We need more madams in the senate. We need more madams period. In fact there should be one good madam operating in every neighborhood.
    What a relief that would be for all the married guys, “Hey Honey, I’m going out for a little while to: walk the dog, get some cigarettes, ride my fruity bicycle… whatever.” And when they get back from their little walk, shop, fruity-bicycle-ride, they would be more able to deal with that nagging-hag watching the Home Shopping Channel in the living room, who hasn’t touched him since Junior was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper, gol-dern-it!
    A good madam is worth her weight in gold. And don’t forget it. I’m sure that General would agree.

    One more thing:
    Sean Hannity is one of those guys, who has so…So, much respect for the military. Odd, but excuse me…he has never been in uniform. (Of course that doesn’t include that night in the tent with his Scout Master, right?) What…He didn’t have the chance to join up? The recruiter miss his high school? No!
    I’m afraid Sean Hannity is just one of those media blowhards who gets paid for forwarding the agenda of his bosses. When push comes to shove; He’ll shove you or your kid to the head of the recruitment line trying to make you think he used to write speeches for Douglas MacArthur.
    Hannity offered to be water boarded once to show that water boarding isn’t torture. And when somebody offered him a $1000 for every second he allowed himself to be subjected to the “non-torture” of water boarding…Well, we never heard anything about water boarding from Sean Hannity again. That tell you anything?
    As far as I’m concerned, water boarding should be mandatory for every spot-on-his-forehead, stinky, Koran-reading, savage we capture. However, I’ll call it torture. But, Sean is good at what he does. And what he does is puff up, blowhard, raise his voice and act like he’s this expert on water boarding, military courtesy and somebody we should listen to.
    I’d be careful if he wanted to sell me his used car. But, this is America…You guys believe what you want, okay? And say: “Sir; Yes sir!” The next time somebody like Hannity, standing way, way in the back, tells you to step in line.
