Dear Miss Manners:
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" |

No one working with Obama is as whacked out and dangerous to this country and its future than Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonsalves, and Donald Rumsfeld were during the reign of the dumbest, most incompetent president in U.S. history, George "What me worry" Bush. |
