I don't think so. I don't care for her, either, but she isn't his
"superior" and he should have referred to her as senator....

just as one would address a female judge as "judge _____" or "your
honor"?

I don't think it was as big a deal as she made out.


Ma'am is the same as sir in my book and that seems to be an adequate
term of respect for a senator.

Don't know what got her goat, his testimony, tone or she was just
having a temporary hormone imbalance (men have them too so don't
accuse me of bigotry) -- but it sure seem blown out of proportion.

I wonder if Letterman will dedicate some jokes to her going off. Maybe
she needs a dose of Alex Rodgrigez more than the Palin tweener.

Here's another hormone laced rant....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI-ficXX_ag

Saw that on Olbermann's show last night. The woman is a candidate for
hormone replacement therapy, no matter the health risks.

The rec.boats dolts will fail to recognize that Olbermann is slagging
the assistant of ultra-lib Representative Jim McDermott from my state.

Or should I say they won't give him credit for spreading the wealth.

If I had her phone number or email, I'd call or write in for "Liz."

What a ditz.

Right after Olbermann did this bit, he called her # and left a message
for "Liz." The woman needs hormones or a straight jacket.

Gosh, I hope she got the message. :)

That thought occurred to me, as I was posting. The deafening silence
seems to support your suspicions.....

You'd never see the GOP house organ playing a tune that counters any
of its bosses.

Nor will the "conservatives" ever give credit for MSNBC not being the
Dem's house organ. In their minds, Fox and MSNBC are the same.
