Barbara Boxer 'Call Me Senator,' Michael Walsh, 'Not Ma'am'

Did she in turn address the General by his title of "General"? No.

This person has issues. 

Ms Boxer should leave her personal feelings in a drawer rather than wear them on a sleeve.  As a Senator she represents all of the people in her state.  Last I heard there were a few 1000 Marines in her jurisdiction.

So Ma'am please show some respect for those you ship off to defend you.  I'm sure the Brigadier-General worked long and hard to get his title too and he probably earned it.

What a disgrace. This just shows how Californians think when they elect such a bitch. Berating the uniform that defends her right to sit on a US Congressional panel is ridiculous, She should kiss the ass of every serviceman she sees for defending her. What an absolute bitch.

Glad he didn't call her Liz.

I agree with you totally.

Check out my take, and stick around for more good content.

In addition, Chris Matthews said this on his June 18 program: "I guess the question is this: Had he said "sir" to a male senator, would that senator be correct in correcting the general? There is a history, however, and let us not forget, of male-female condescension in the U.S. Senate. Just recall the Anita Hill testimony of not too long ago. That just might encourage a woman senator to insist on the title, senator. That being said, an Army spokesman later today says "sir, ma'am, or senator" are all deemed appropriate under the protocol when addressing a U.S. Senator. That's their story.”

 

So the General is clearly guilty of male-female condescension, Mr. Matthews?  Maybe you should do what I did and actually research the story before commenting.  I checked out more of the hearing at http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Hearings.Choose&Hearing_id=c7026be1-802a-23ad-4fa3-4c8ed0b6d074.  Was the General treating her Highness differently and more deferentially than the other senators?  I randomly started at about 46.00 and ended around 1.09.00.  In that time period Gen. Walsh addressed Sen. Vitter as "sir" 14 times and as "Senator" twice; he addressed Sen. Landrieu as "ma'am" 6 times and as "Senator" twice (and once as "sir" which he quickly corrected to "ma'am").  Neither Sens. Vitter nor Landrieu apparently had a problem with the polite and respectful way they were addressed – even though they had ‘earned’ the same title as her Royal Senatorness.

 

The only thing Boxer and her blind lackey Matthews have earned is my sincere contempt.

A US Senator is a servant of the people-no more and no less.  Senate membership is a position that is entrusted to an individual; it is not earned.  Senator Boxer is a former protester of military involvement in Vietnam and her attitude is showing.

That's ok General, she won't be a "Senator" next year!

Here's the email I sent this woman....stop commenting here and send her one yourself...

Dear Senator,
How disappointed I was by the video of your unnecessary comment to Brigadier General Michael Walsh in regards to him addressing you as maam.  If you truly wish to be addressed as senator, there certainly was a more appropriate way to respond to Brig. General Walsh.  Please remember that you do serve and represent the people and that Brig. General Walsh was respectfully responding to your question and did not deserve a lesson from you.  After all, didn't the people of this country fight against the need to bow down to royalty like yourself about 200 years ago?
Get a clue maam...I'm sorry senator....

The actions of the, in my opinion, foul putrid disgusting Boxer broad towards that military man is one of many reasons I concluded that the USA demands the enactment of the Females as Property Movement.

That, to me, daffy dizzy Boxer broad is unworthy of even kissing the soles of any military persons', either male OR female, boots.

The disgust I feel towards the Boxer broad are also tied into my anger at the ongoing class war within the USA.

Surely, again just my opinion, that Boxer wench is truly an enemy of the vast majority of Americans since she is either a part of the USA elite class and/or is a lackey of that elite class.

Too bad we can't slap a privates' stripes on Boxers shoulders and ship her off to the front lines in Afghanistan.

The Females as Property Movement knows how to handle mouthy disrespectful dames such as that Boxer thing. A few months at the county unowned female work farm would straighten her out.

Boxer needs to go.  What a twit.

He too has worked hard for his position, if not harder. When Boxer interrupted him with her request, he should have said, "Senator, could you please address me as Brigadier General, I have earned that as well". If we are going to be professional, then let us all be professional".It is part of the Military customs, and courtesies to refer to women as ma'am, and men as sir. Once again customs, traditons and values are so easily swept by the wayside.Now THIS IRISH GIRL would have replied "I'll call you something, but it wouldn't be M'am or Senator"!!!!!!!!!Maybe I'd do a Letterman---I'd have called her a slutty flight attendant. Apparently that's perfectly acceptable.

She should focus more on the topic rather than the way she wanted to be addressed.  I'm sure the General has more time serving this country than her.  I can tell, she has no idea of military protocol.

Ms Boxer should be ashamed of herself!  Total lack of nobility, absolutely no manners, her parents must be so humiliated at her lack of respect to the people who protect us with their lives.  She's a disgrace to the Senate, the country and the State of California.  If she had served in the military she might have made sergeant with such a "bossy" demeanor, but I doubt any thinking military officer would have promoted her any further with such a self-important attitude.  She says she worked "so hard" to become a Senator...she conveniently forgot that she had to get elected (chosen) by the people.  She has conveniently forgotten that all politicians get elected by talking constantly, promising everything, manipulating others & brow beating people to contribute campaign monies.  That's hard work but it doesn't warrant any respect.  Serving in the Military commands respect.  I can't see Ms Boxer standing in front of anyone to protect them from bodily harm and I definitely don't see her able to lead, command or plan a successful campaign against an enemy.  Such an important person as she from a State that is bankrupt because of its leadership ...how can she even imagine she's above being called "ma'am" which is simply a standard military salutation in use for centuries?

She's just like the guy in Ferris Bueller's Day Off; "Call Me Sir, Goddammit!"

The chunt needs maggots crammed up her chunt.

We teach our child to say “yes ma'am” and “yes sir” because saying "ma'am" and “sir” is a polite and respectful way of addressing others here in US and is obviously not taught on "Planet Crazy" where Barbara Boxer lives.  She does NOT DESERVE to be called SENATOR and is too stupid to know that General Walsh was following military protocol, which advises officers to use "sir" or "ma'am" when addressing anyone ‘higher’ than them on the chain of command, and she is FAR TOO STUPID to know that he WAS addressing her in a manner that showed respect and honor. The ONLY thing she deserves to be called is "POND SCUM".

 

Boxer is a sick demented idiot moron and shows her stupidity every time she opens her moronic mouth.  Californians should be ashamed that they ever elected her as a Senator because she wreaks disaster with everything she does.

 

Boxer, please, just SHUT UP and DON’T have a nice day.

 

Barbara Boxer: Senator and out ou touch, ungrateful (for our military), BITCH

Mrs. Boxer, needs not only to apologize to the General but to every military member, every military veteran who has ever served. It is acceptable for military members to address even the President by the term Sir, so where does she get off objecting?

Do you guess if I was to ever meet her I could demand that she call me Chief Petty Officer Retired?

This tired stupid cunt needs to go now. It is  embarrassing to be from California. I do not care for Feinstein either, but I do have respect for her as a Senator. The only thing Boxer has earned has been on her knees. Her position was bought as most political hacks in this country. It is now time to THIN THE HERD.

I already wrote in and gave my comment to what she said.My husband spent twenty years in the air force and they were taught to call woman madame. He spent a year in viet nam and wouldn't tell any one because he got treated so badly he was ashamed to tell any one he had been in viet nam.I was proud of him being is the service and she should apologise to the general in pulic.thank you patricia myers
