At first I was bothered....I read on PetTalk that Senator Boxer did not want to be called ma'am....
A little truth in whine is in order!
She told the General she wanted to be called Senator. Just as I am willing to bet the General expects to be called...General.
Whether I agree with either of them is beside the point.
Both are entitled to be called by the title they have earned. General for him...Senator for her.
Not too complicated really!

I am more than happy to send anyone a gift certificate for an ANTI-STREET-RAT-CRAZY smoothie.
Gosh, this may be a pandemic.

If madam Boxer had been respectful to the General, who actualy worked to earn his Rank and not worked to win a popularity contest like she did, you might have a point.
Madam Boxer decided to disrespect a high Ranking member of our countries military to put him in what she saw is his place.
Not to complicated for you?

Oh, I could see her dropping her smoothie had Herr General been disrespectful, But to call someone out, in front of cameras, media and the world because she thought she was being disrespected shows that she has no class, decorum or brains.
She obviously was not in a good mood-Hmmmm, I wonder if she is SRC, or what?
Had it been a man (Mister, Senator or Sir) that called out a woman about his honorific, he would have been drawn and quartered over the incident.
Me thinks that the Lady Rep from the state of Cah lee fuh nee ah should stay away from undies of the smaller or thong variety.

Again with the "whine" comments.... Tis' a healthy ego you have. I reckon thats why you like our President. I learned a long time ago, ego is a dangerous thing to have when dealing with serious stuff.
Did you listen to the audio of this incident? "She worked so hard to "earn" that title." Please. The General didn't?
Democrat and Republican alike... Arrogance like this is why the people are restless.

He was dodging bullets, she was shooting them-to clear the way for her EGO.
She's a low grade politician who has stepped on many toes to get her honorific. Pretty sad to be proud of a title you earned by scamming the people who put you there..

Speaking of senators....where is the moral outrage about Senator Ensign. Now granted...he did not do something so egregious as ask to be called by his title... although we might want to ask Ms. Hampton about that.
Ms. Hampton is the wife of his good friend and employee - Mr. Hampton. Ms. Hampton is also the mother of a 19 year old Senator Ensign pushed some work to.
Oh yes, Ms. Hampton was also Senator Ensign's bed partner for a while. And an employee of Senator Ensign.
During the time Senator Ensign was doing Ms. Hampton her salary was doubled. Guess she did a good job.
Rumor has it this is not Senator Ensign's first dalliance (yes, there is a Mrs. Ensign...somewhere...)
Senator Ensign was full of moral outrage and hard charging for the impeachment of President Clinton for doing the help. I guess that was different??
And the icing on the cake? Mr. Hampton sent a letter to Fox News telling of the affair. Did they run with the story...nooooo...they gave Senator Ensign a heads up so he could arrange a "hasty news conference" where he confessed to doing the most horrible thing in his life. Nothing like "fair and impartial" news organizations.
So, as an active member of Promise Keepers...what promise do you suppose Senator Ensign was keeping???
Thankd goodness all he did was have a married mistress on the payroll...and not something serious!

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.Gives me an idea for
a game, Guess how many Republicans political officials have had run into
legal & ethical issues in the last year. I can think of 5 or 6 easily.

I was totally blown away when I heard about Senator Ensign. He always seemed like the straight arrow type. Then again, one never knows what goes on behind closed doors
And this subject is very appropriate for The Dog House as Senator Ensign is the only Veterinarian in the Senate

My favorite political party!Senator Ensign is the only Veterinarian in the Senate
I couldn't care less what party he belongs to or not. It is the outing of hypocrisy I relish. So delicious....
My mother always told me...if someone has to tell you how religious they are or how righteous they are --- watch out!!!
About that she hasn't been wrong yet!

Guess how many Democrats have the same problems?Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Are we EVER going to get past the shackles the inter-party bickering does to us? We are, supposed to be at least, better than this.
The parties and MINDLESS loyalty to then, is a major part of the problem.

They're those who cant see past their own party, they will excuse, ignore, and toss out distractions to protect their own. Most of them live in glass houses yet are still hypocritical enough to throw stones.
Some are trying to ignore the fact that the Hampton's tried to extort the senator. Link. I make no excuses for the senator, since none of the players in this scandal are clean.
Im shocked that Fox news would give a polititian an honest chance to break bad news to his constituants instead of hanging him out to dry after tarring and feathering him for having an affair. He came clean on his own rather then be blackmailed, shocking stuff.
When someone enjoys the outing of an others dirty laundry, watch out, the carp is going to fill the room quickly. Now would be a good time for some to get a Smoothy.

Grace,
Blown away and Senator should not be used in the same sentence?

HAHAHAHAHA,
Sit on this one for a moment.
Seriously,
Let's say that the Iranian "revolution" does the job and they get a real regime change, not some namby effing pamby promise of change.
So, Iran and Iraq become pretty serious DEMOCRACIES in the area and you see a fairer government, and people of different religious beliefs and races put their shiat together and start to live a better life..
Wouldn't that be nice?
It's way too bad that people have to die at the hands of their own brothers. But, what if those people's death's really won't go unnoticed in the long run and the people of Iran finally get a chance to run the asylum?
Ready?
Would not it be funny if they whole 'democracy' thing got going because some dopey president (that still can't say New Clear) took the chance by invading Iraq and giving those citizens at democracy and a chance to speak?
Naw, it would be too easy to give either Bush credit-
Warmongers!
