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, Rangle and Patterson (of NJ) saying anybody
against this bogus health care bill is "racist"... Have you listened to
this Jones guy?
