Call me Senator

Some time go, you might remember the snotty incident where Senator Barbara Boxer reprimanded Brigadier General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers for having the audacity to address her as "Ma'am" - a respectful term used in the military to address persons of higher rank.  She wanted to be addressed as "Senator" because she "worked so hard to get that title."  Oooooh, that made me mad!

So here's a brilliant (and hilarious) parody of that little incident - along with a reminder to vote this arrogant twit out of office.

Of all the arrogant, detestable snobs!

So I hear Brigadier General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers made a faux pas while speaking with Senator Barbara Boxer: he called her "ma'am."

I heard the audio clip and nearly fell over when Sen. Boxer reprimanded him for having the audacity to address her as "ma'am." She wanted to be addressed as "senator" because she "worked so hard to get that title."

What this little lady doesn't realize is "ma'am" is a respectful and accepted military indication of rank. A superior officer would never address a junior officer as "ma'am" - that's a term reserved for those in higher authority. So although little ol' Barbie is vastly below a brigadier-general in rank, he had the courtesy to address her as "ma'am" and then bore her ignorant and unjustified reprimand with dignity.

I felt intense shame (on her behalf) that an elected official would pull this kind of snotty crap.

Later on Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, said "I've always been suspicious of women who are insulted by pronouns."

Amen, Elaine. I wholeheartedly agree.

And Barbara dear...you can call me "ma'am."
