Sen. Demint with the smackdown of the assclown:

Did it surprise a single person that it was her who made that statement?
Stuck up bitc....
This is a toughie. Frankly, our military is out of control and is supposed to defer to the elected branches of gubmint or so I thought. No fan of Boxer here at all, but if she thinks he is required to call her 'Senator' it is certainly her right and she has earned that. The General has earned his position by sucking up to his superiors and following orders. I do not get where a tool is more important than the engineer.

Whaaaaaat?????? Helllllooooooooooo!!!!!
I'd refer to her as Senator, that's the appropriate title. I just giggle a little bit every time I do.
The military are trained to refer to women with the title "Mam" and men as "Sir." Senator Boxer has never been comfortable with any reference to her as a woman. She apparently finds it degrading.
For some, any reference to gender above title, is a psychological trigger. She is not comfortable as a woman, and that's sad. She should be proud of herself as a role model for other women. Instead, actions like hers make the statement that the female gender is somehow an insult to her title.
Thank God for her sake that we are an English speaking culture. In many languages gender reference is built into the verbiage.

And yet we can call protesters 'whores' on this board, but you cannot type the word b-tch! Ha ha!

And it is okay for a TPD to call Her Honor a 'bitc-'. I am amazed at how anti-woman this board allows you guys to get. This is shameful. Are you a lawyer, seriously? Someone mentioned that and I do not for one second believe it.

It's official, you have gone full retard. Btw, it's not "Her Honor", it's "Senator" dooshbag. Go back to your stupid website.

You are a real treat, pal! Now, you use mentally disabled as your hateful punching bag. Like I said, I am surprised at how incredibly hateful and abusive this board has become. Talk about not answering a question! I gave you the benefit of the doubt when you used dooshbag, but now that the thread has officially used anti-woman speech - hate speech - you resort to further displaying how hateful and ignorant you are.
Sorry to be so harsh, just fightin' the good fight.

Really? For what pray tell? For allowing myself to be called an idiot, insane, retarded? For objecting to sexist, abusive language from an ossifer of the law? I am disappointed in you BB. G-dawg I can expect it from but you, too, huh? Ok. Now what is your name again?
The General should have been more prepared as I am sure the Pentagon knows the Senator has an ego as big as California, dislikes military types and would get upset if her ego isn't stroked.
That doesn't excuse the arrogance of Ms. Boxer who comes off as an arrogant a**hole. She could have as easily sent a message to General in private after the meeting to address her as Senator in the future.

Not really, W. But I am very very surprised that you would use such language to describe her sentiment. Do you teach your kids to speak like this? Are you really a TPD? Do you really devalue your reputation and career so much that you are going to let that comment stand instead of doing the right thing and taking it down? I am very shocked at your behavior and at TN for allowing it. I am sorry I am the only person on this entire forum who objects to someone behaving like a sexist pig, and W you should thank me for being the only person trying to protect your good name and reputation.

Not quite are you teaching him that it is okay to call women 'grumble*' and other names? Look if you want to defend yourself as a sexist pig, do not expect people to begin to listen to your opinions. All you are doing is making yourself look like a jerk. Sorry for even caring, really. This entire board should be ashamed of itself, and Wilbur you especially.

No. Or obviously I would be wearing pink undies, right? And just so you know, I have a 2.5 year old and I do NOT expect her to pitch fits every time she is rebuffed. If that is your expectation I have some really, reaaallllly bad news for you: you are raising a monster and I hope you are ready for a smart-mouthed brat, one of those punks that you really hate.

Please don't mistake disrespect and self-sanctimonious attitudes with "strength". Let's see what did Senator "Hot Chex" Boxer work so hard at to become a member of the Senate club? Oh, yeah, forgot, it takes a lot of time to do fund raisers and such out in Marin County.
I'm curious how many other times "sir" or "ma'am" has been said in committee before in the House or Senate. I agree with the OP, she's being a total DB on this.
To become a General in any branch of the armed forces, it requires hard work, not raising a bunch of filthy money to gain votes.
The good Senator from Cali was most def out of line here.

Maybe, but if the Senator had an (R) following the name, I'm pretty certain this would have been a non-issue for Gweed.

I think the Senator has watched 'A Few Good Men' toooooo many times.
Promotions do not happen because of good, hard work. Until the past twenty years or so it had 100% to do with color and gender as a primary qualifier. Now it has to do with how one puts up, shuts up, then moves up. Ask all them fard generals who opposed Rumsfeld or Bush. And has the O asked them to fill the gap in the forces? Shut up and follow orders.
Again this has more to do with the latent sexism in our culture. Consider the filthy words used to degrade women, both in this thread's title and in the comments. It is a good-old-boys club, forgive her for being more sensitive than most.
Check that: Barbara Boxer= Racist
She gets throttled. Buy hey, at least we know she was MARRIED to a veteran.

I'm tired of you people destroying what's left of this nation. If you can defend this tripe, it's no wonder we have a jet pack strapped to our collective asses, on the way to this nations economic and social oblivion. You're to stupid to be allowed to vote, but you did and here we are. Probably got brainwashed at some college and think it's a real education. Did i mention arrogant in that little rant?
