I have to admit, Barbara Boxer makes me sick at times .....

At it again ......

Barbara Boxer is at it again.

During a Senate hearing this week, Boxer lashed out at United States Army General Michael Walsh for not addressing her properly.

What did General Walsh say, you ask?

No, General Walsh didn't call her Barbara.

The offensive moniker?...

"Ma'am"

General Walsh has a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Army. He's worked his way up through the ranks, having served at home and abroad - including a tour in Iraq - to his current command of a division of the Army Corps of Engineers.

He deserves better from a United States Senator. Ironically, General Walsh is even from California - making him a constituent of Senator Boxer's.

All of our military men and women deserve more dignity than to be on the receiving end of condescension and disrespect, especially at the hands of our elected officials.

She rebuked him for calling her that ..... I AM A CONGRESSWOMAN ..... worked long and hard to get that. True, but he showed no disrespect to her ..... she did to him.
