Topic: Barbra boxer Tells Gen. Not to call her Ma'am. Tells him "adress me as senator"

Redcell · June 23rd, 2009

So this is BS and one of the reasons I hate my states Leadership. In the clip California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer Tells Brigadier General Michael Walsh To Call Her Senator Not Ma'am. this is ridiculous. She hasnt done anything to earn the title.

Arrogance at its finest.

Just wondering what you guys think.

Um... she won the election?

MontyB · June 23rd, 2009

Well I guess if she is a Senator then she has every right to be addressed by the title.

Not sure I see any problem so far.

Senatess???

Damned cocky tart, I'd start calling her "Hey you", unless of course I had some real reason to give her some respect. (Or I wanted something from her

)

mmarsh · June 23rd, 2009

people have the right to be called whatever they choose.

Then we have the right to call people what we want too.

Ma'am is deemed good enough for the Queen of England, by herself, so it's certainly good enough for Barbra Boxer.

A. She is a Senator.
B. It was during a Senate hearing not in private and is considered the proper address.
C. She earned the right to be addressed as Senator by being elected.
D. She did not need to big a speech about it. (Remember she is a politician and that's what they do).
E. I vote against her each time she runs for election.

No, we don't have that right. You would know that if you ever read this forums rules.

Way to take it out of context again Chupike. It was a response to "we can be called whatever we want."

I find it weird she found "Ma'am" offensive. I think she nitpicking about the unimportant stuff just to try to make the General feel uncomfortable and get the idea that she is not a fan of either him, the military or both. Kind of like what you enjoy doing Chupike.
