What do you think about Sen. Barbara Boxer being addressed as "ma'am"
rather than as "Senator" by a U.S. brigadier general during a Senate
hearing? Was this really a breach of protocol?
"Let us not go looking for insults -- or assume stupidity, which it
would be for anyone to insult a senator at a senatorial hearing.
Miss Manners assures you that "ma'am" is, like its masculine
equivalent, "sir," a highly respectful form suitable for addressing
any female, including a president, a monarch and your own mother."
Tom, my thought s are that Boxer prefers "Senator" over "ma'am"
because to her, "Senator" sounds more "butch"
Big ****ing deal... Now we have a Czar of Green Jobs snerk calling
republicans Assholes
