Senator Barbara Boxer

Cyclist's picture

Remember when Senator Boxer halted a Senate hearing in order to chastise Brigadier General Michael Walsh about acknowledging her as "Senator" rather than 'Ma'am.

Well during the Senate conformation hearings, soon-to-be Justice Sotomayor
repeatedly acknowledge the Senators as "sirs".

So based on that, I would say that qualifies Senator Boxer as a prima donna.

Boxer text

“You know, do me a favor,” Boxer said the way an owner patronizes a reluctant pet, before snapping on a leash. “Could you say ’senator’ instead of ‘ma’am? It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you,”

Cy, I no longer have access to it, but an Alaskan Airlines Captain named Jim Hill, who is also a Washington National Guard Aviation guy, wrote a letter to Boxer that truly smoked her good on her foolish actions. So there was some public response.

BARBARA BOXER STAND AT ATTENTION IN FRONT OF OUR ARMED FORCES!!

From a Guard Aviator and Captain for Alaska Air Lines. He hits the nail directly on the head.

You were so right on when you scolded the General on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator." After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The General was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks(one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs.How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?

Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your
abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.

Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and
arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish
behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or
shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the
unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into
the laughing stock of the nation.

What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions
of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize
politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is.

Lord Acton (1834 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt
and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your
colleagues, Mr. Power has had his way with all of you, and we are all
the worse for it.

Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist
Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"?

Cheers!

Jim Hill
