Why, yes, Senator, you are a self-serving ignoramus.
Well played…
wonder what Boxer’s position on Anti Missle Defense “Lasers” is?
Much ado about nothing.
Though I will add that both are correct. There is no disrespect in referring to a woman as Ma’am, or a man as Sir, but there is great disrespect in referring to a General of our military as Dr. Evil.
If you have an earned title, it should be used.
What a stinking tomb. Note to self–always call her ‘Barbara’.
Sir, you have missed the point entirely.
I guess she wants to wear the “Daddy Pants”!
She earned the title with her hard work??? Who is she kidding? She earned nothing. Her stupid voting base put her there and keeps her there. It’s time to dethrone that arrogant woman.
Ha! Look up quick zyzzyg, it’s over your head!
Sir and Ma’am are terms of respect given between warriors in the military.
Senator Boxer is right. She doesnt’ deserve that respect. The term Senator has lately become a derisive term associated with do nothings and arse hats. It is certainly more appropriate to call her Senator.
MOE: “You know, you’re the most intelligent imbecile I’ve ever met.”
SHEMP: “Oh, thank you.”
LARRY: “Hey! What about me?”
MOE: “Oh, you’re much smarter. You’re just an imbecile.”
Ugh! She should take and not give etiquette lessons from an officer.
Poor z-troll…
That binary thinking has such limitations….
Very well. Henceforth, I will call you Dr. Wha…?
When I was in the Navy, we would say,
“Aye, aye, ma’am” – and that was the title of respect for any and all female officers of all ranks, including Admiral.
What a bunch of hogwash. I agree that “Senator” is a slight to anyone anymore. Who would want THAT title?
Just look at that Senator, she looks positively exhausted from all the hard work it took her to get where she is. Why, she looks like she’s 90 years old, for heavens sake. Give the poor old woman her due respect.
“…worked so hard to get that title.”
hahahahahahahahahaha!
That idiot Boxer was a Marin County, CA supervisor when I lived there. She’s NEVER “worked” in her entire life.
When she ran for congress, Marin County voted no, because they know she’s a moron. The congressional district, at that time, included the very liberal northern part of San Francisco. So she got elected.
The county she lived and worked in (and the one she screwed over royally) didn’t want her in congress. It took the liberal idiots in SF to do that. Now she’s the
Wicked Witch of the Westdarling of left.Much depends on how seriously one takes oneself, and the pretentiousness of the title.
When I was in the lawyering biz, I always laughed at other attorneys who in correspondence insisted on sticking “Esq.” after their names.
And I recall one cross-examination exchange between a lawyer and a witness with a PhD, during which the witness kept insisting that the lawyer call him “Doctor” until the lawyer also insisted that the witness call him “Doctor” too.
About the only good standing on false pride in titles does is if one has a sense of self-deprecating humor: in my office today, I have a planning board on the wall on which is written, “The [Juris] ‘Doctor’ is __________” – with the blank filled in with a post-it note for “In” or “Out.”
It’s the only way I’ll ever refer to myself as a “Doctor.” And I’ll never, ever use “Esq.” after my name. For Pete’s sake!
And as far as Boxer goes … she did NOT have to “work hard” to be called “Senator.” She comes from a district in which the donks could elect a canned ham. If I were testifying before her, my preferred honorific would be, “Pig.”
Don’t forget the import of hubby’s $$$$…!!!
I’ll bet that when Sen. Boxer farts, only dogs can hear it.
“Why yes, Princess, I will be happy to call you Senator.” You may call me by my first name “General” or my middle name, “Sir.”

With apologies to Simon and Garfunkel:
In the clearing stands a Boxer, and a fighter by her trade
And she carries the reminders of every glove that laid her down or cut her til she cried out in her anger and her shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, (we should be so lucky) but the fighter still remains
Yes she still remains (unfortunately).
Okay from now on you must refer to me as staff sergeant sonofdy.
I sure as hell worked harder for it than boxer did.
Amen, and Amen…
It’s way past due to send “Boxer” (not Senator) packing, she hasn’t earned that respect from me. I’m a native Californian whom is tired of her and Feinstein keeping this once great State down, put them and Pelosi out to pasture. There is absolutely not one reason to keep the three of them in office any longer. VOTE THEM OUT NOW!

If I were to be stuck on a desert island, and could bring only 3 items with me, it would be:

2.) Barbara Boxer

Hope and change, time to march like the Iranians.
Well I find myself maybe the odd man out around here. I find nothing wrong with the lady senator asking to be called Senator. It was not a “dressing down”, and I’m pretty sure if the General had an issue, he as a big boy, can say, could have said, and as of yet has not said a thing about the matter one way or the other.
As conservatives if the best we can do is pick on an issue like this, we have little hope on impressing non-conservatives with our politics or our world view.
As a human being no one has to “earn” the right to determine what they want to be called.
I can’ begin to tell you how many officers I had to salute and call “sir” when I was in the Navy that had not earned it in any way. “Earning” it does not matter one wit. Some non-com’s that to this day I would easily call sir and salute but could not because them folks, they worked for a living.
This is trying making something out of nothing.
It’s contagious.
Barbara “Boor” Boxer apparently does not know that this is how our great military speaks, nor recognize manners.
Heck, I am from the South and still say “ma’am” and “sir” to my elders. I wouldn’t say it to her, however.
I may send her a special letter addressed as:
“Dear Ma’am.”

She’s earned the title.
I rather doubt she could handle the first day of any of the US Armed Forces training cycles, be it boot camp, basic training, or what have you.
My PV2’s and SA’s (Army, Navy and Coast Guard E2’s) have earned more respect by 9AM than Boxer has in her entire time on welfare – she doesn’t work and we give her money. What else can it be characterized as?
It reminded me of the Clintons’ disdain for the military when they forbade any military uniforms in the White House. All service members (except the Marines at the doors) had to be in civilian clothes.
Typical liberal/progressive attitude toward the people who sacrifice more for this nation than any other group.
Fixed it for you.
I wouldn’t let Barbara Boxer be Bos’n Mate on a Buoy Tender.
I sent Senator/Trophy Wife Babs Boxer a letter yesterday:
Was I overly harsh?

Rags…make him stop
It was just Ma’am Boxer again selectively playing sexist politics.
El Conquistador.
Who does this be-atch think she is? This servant of the people is a nothing compared to a Brigadeer General who actually did work hard to get where he is. She owes him a huge apology, but of course she will never admit that.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
That is one ‘Got Milk?’ commercial I definitely do not want to see.
WHAT!!!!! Are we running short on imported terrorists, and needed to restock? Talk about leaving the barn door open.
Honestly, I’m starting to think we may not survive 4 years of the one.
I vote for General Walsh to be the first winner of the new ‘Michelle Malkin Self Restraint in Dealing with Liberals” award for demonstrating superhuman ability to remain cool and collected despite an outrageous insult from a liberal.
How’d he do it?
I KNOW that I would have blurted out, “…anything you say lady.” or “okay your highness” or “no problemo your majesty”, etc.
(It’s probably a good thing that I’m not a general…)
Boxer: “It’s good to be King.”
There was a story in the Chicago Trib about how BBoxer addressed Sec o State Condi Rice as “m’amm” THREE TIMES during Rice’s testimony!
Senator Asshat!
By the way, it looks like Ensign’s resignation wasn’t as honorable as it first looked. Apparently guy was just trying to preempt news that gets worse and worse.
Everyone have a good weekend, and happy fathers day to all the pops out there.
I haven’t seen any mention of it — may even have been cut off in some audios and videos — but that very last bit of curtness from Boxer at the end, “Yes, thank you,” sent me absolutely up the wall.
It was the voice of an arrogant and sarcastic mother speaking to a child who had displeased her, that gratuitous “yes” followed immediately by the “thank you.” What a bitch she is.
She’s a ‘trophy’ wife? Does that mean her head should be on a wall?

My title at work is, “Senior Specialty Lines Claims Examiner”. I earned it with 30 years in the business. Please call me that from now on. And, no, you may not abbreviate it, “SSLCE”. I deserve to hear you say the whole thing out loud.
HA! Kidding!!!
Even I could not get through that with a straight face!
I don’t always agree with Michael “Savage” Weiner, but his descriptions of Babs intelligence, or lack thereof, are spot on.
I know little about DeVore, (or whatever his name is), but I got the impression a real Republican can’t win statewide office in Kahleefornya.
They can still win House districts, but LA, SF, the Hispanics, (citizens, legal aliens and illegal aliens alike) and the money from Hollywood, makes it unwinnable.
I hope I’m wrong….
Even a RINO is better than Boxer. Well, a former RINO like Spectre or the two Maine babes, is a push. A McCain/Graham RINO is better than Boxer, IMHO.
So…

“Call me Senator”
“Yes, Madam Dolt”
Whoa, Babs…tone down the testosterone!
“I worked really hard to earn that title…!”
No, Babs, you raised tons of corrupt money to run ads to fool your constituents into voting for you…you earned nothing, the least of which is respect! You get appointed to Senate committees, you don’t have to prove you belong there…and as far as I can see, you don’t have the intelligence to be there!
This arrogant sphincter of the left-coast elite, member of the Progressive Party of the Damned, needs to be excised.
Her hatred, and contempt for those in uniform is readily apparent. Does she think the Brigadier General didn’t have to work hard, and sacrifice to get to his position?
Babs, here’s a clue…a Brigadier General has to put time in service, pass tests, and get educatedto even be considered for promotion to reach that rank. He is not appointed, as was your buddy,and fellow idiot, Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders.
If this isn’t the perfect example of the need for term limits, I don’t know what is. Beee-atch needs to go.
No senator is ever above a soldier. If anything, it’s the other way around. Senators should be required to salute our men and women in uniform.
Just curious… are there any commenters on this blog that voted for this turd in a pantsuit?

Get off your “Prom Queen” high horse you ditzy old broad. You didn’t “EARN” anything! You won a popularity contest.
General Walsh faced our nation’s enemies in toe-to-toe armed combat in a fight to the death. His medals and his rank were EARNED with the recommendations of his comrade-in-arms peers who personally witnessed his valor, leadership and professionalism.
YOU, on the other hand, are nothing but an egomaniacal gasbag whose office was “earned” by promising the ignorant and illiterate CA voters who sent you to Washington more government largesse at taxpayers’ expense.
We see how that’s worked out for the State of California, haven’t we?
MA’AM, you are a disgrace!
Not to pour water on your comment, but I think Gen. Walsh is from the Army Corp of Engineers. Don’t know about his larger military career.
I guess there WAS a time someone wanted to mount her–when I do not know-consult your local taxidermist as rules and regulations change
ditzy old broad–local vernacular for Left Over Trophy
WolfWife.Senator you didn’t work hard for that title. The voters GAVE you that title.
You should get your little pet peeves under control.
BTW, who has a pet peeve about being called maam?
I’ve had the honor of voting against her. Unfortunately in CA, it’s like pissing into the wind. Got to pick our battles here.
Adolescent boys answering the telephone.
This whole topic is infuriating. My military parents raised me to address everybody adult/elder/superior as “Sir” or “Ma’am” and for Boxer to disrespect the General over his total non-disrespect, during a hearing, no less!, conjures up another four-letter “honorific” typically reserved for XX-humans.

What a condescending bioch! She earned her title? Give me a break. Only a liberal could criticize a man for showing her respect.
It’s no wonder Mexifornia and the Federal Government are bankrupt.
I was wondering how he managed to keep his cool. I never could have done it.
After George Washington retired from the Office of President, he preferred to be referred to as “General Washington”, vice “President Washington”. The reasoning was plain and simple in his explanation…He was proud of General because he worked and earned it, while “President” was on loan from the people.
One should use the term “Honorable Senator” Boxer, senator while in office and honorable at all times, if only to remind her on how to act.
The General was correct in his usage, and contrary to the Z troll, no disrespect was evident, encountered or intended. Maybe the “Honorable Senator” from CA is indeed not a female (I do not want to find out.
ZZYZX – get a clue and a life.
what an elitist pig, wark hard my butt, she bought it just like Odopey bought the White House. does the stupid cow think the General graduated from R.O.T.C. and was awarded his rank, stupid, ignorant, self centered cow.
The rest of the nation is and should be appalled by the behavior of Senator A$$hat, obviously someone of civilian leadership who has no clue about military drill and ceremony. Even after condemnation from the parts of the country that still respect professionalism, she will take no time or energy to learn why she really is a loser. The really sad thing is, Californians will vote her right back in. With the illegal alien votes plus all of the military haters in this state, they are not offended nor do they find it disturbing that this woman is completely ignorant of military protocol.
As a senator of a completely failed state looking for handouts wherever they can find it, you would think the average Californian would at least vote all of these losers out and try to start over. Nope, Californians will look for the D and check yes every time. Senator Boxer, I mean her highness, knows this. I don’t know how California dumbed down its residents so quickly and efficiently, but they did it well. I can see why California is Obama’s blueprint.
He should’ve answered: “Yes, sir.”

Concur with your assessment, but did not the British military used that standard a couple of centuries ago? (As in Buying Commissions?) With the “
Honorable Senator’s” vast knowledge of military affairs, is there something that I missed?Nah, She is still a dillweed.
When I was 29 and a 12 year old called me ma’am – I stepped back thinking- Am I that I that old to him to call me ma’am? Even so I knew he was being respectful. At 40-50 something get over it – especially when a military person who deserves just as much, or maybe more repect getting his title, follows protocol. What a ninny- I am speechless to her self-centered non-professional response. All I can say is Brigadier General, Sir, you are a true gentlemen and thank you for your service… and what the heck was that?
Did she sign all those bad checks “Senator”…?
And yeah, his title is General, not Umm, you know.
And yeah, he’s a gentleman.
I was trying to remember how Patreus addressed her when answering questions re the surge. Oh yeah, he never got to. She made a ten minute speech about herself until cut off by the chair. Patreus just smiled and nodded at her.
This woman is a legend in her own mind.
.
As it should be…if not the military that cow would be hiding in a closet afraid to open her mouth.
It seems all the gals elected in dc have an attitude. Babs is as nasty as dear nan. I wish just once, someone who are under their interview would say what they would want to say. This old bat needs an attitude adjustment. Thank you Gen. for your service to our country.

The General’s branch is Engineers. Just because he is currently assigned to the Army Corps of Engineers does not mean he spent his entire career there. His last assignment might have been with Combat Engineers. Don’t know if it was or not but the last Combat Engineer Brigade Commander I had left that asssignment and took over the Southeastern United States District of the Army Corps of Engineers.
Hi, All:
Why don’t we send a hard copy of the individual comments here to Her Royal Crassness, Barbara Boxer? I can even copy all of it and mail it myself. Her staff will open my mail, as I will make sure it is postmarked San Francisco. I’ll be sure to send a self-stamped addressed reply envelope for them to use.
I would love to get her reaction on this! If nothing else, it would be good to KNOW that she learns what we think about her condescension! She dislikes farmers, too. She prefers to cultivate smelts in the Sacramento/San Joaquin deltas, rather than allow agriculture to flourish in the Central Valley. She is Marie Antoinette personified. We are just waiting for her to tell the farmers to eat cake since our farms soon will be barren because of the man-made drought in California.
FYI, she can’t spell worth a da*n! I happen to have a copy of a speech prepared for her by an aide, where she made some notes on the margin. Her handwriting and spelling are atrocious! This leads me to believe Michael Savage is correct in his assessment of her intelligence.
Michael Savage says that if she had remained in Brooklyn instead of moving to the Bay area, she would be selling lingerie on Jamaica Avenue.
I wonder how long that General put up with bureacratic garbage to get where he is at. She should be saluting him instead of interrogating him.
