That general would not have addressed a male senator as mister. If he wanted to use that form of speech, he could have properly and respectfully addressed her as Madam Senator, madam being the full form of ma'am. "Senator," would have been sufficient, as would have "Senator Boxer." There is a protocol for addressing officials, and the fact that you and the other uneducated ****s don't know it doesn't excuse those who should know from not knowing. You can tell by listening to the General that he addressed her as "ma'am" purposely to indicate disrespect for her or her official title. Sure he did. He screwed up, that's all. A simple, innocent and human mistake. I am sure this is hard to understand by those who never make mistakes. Eisboch During the exact same committee meeting General Walsh referred to the male Senators at the hearing as "sir" without receiving even a dirty look for any faux pas in protocol. Sure the correct protocol would have been Senator, but the male senators focused on the purpose of the meeting, instead of worrying about someone inadvertently using the wrong title. -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq. This Newsgroup post is a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects No need to insult bitches everywhere, just refer to her as "Democratic Senator" which is as derogatory as possible. I also agree with this post. |
