California Senator Barbara Boxer, Who i forget where I heard this, should be buying her second Brassiere Store in Brooklyn, and I concur.During a hearing before her Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, a military officer testifying had the apparent gall to call Boxer "ma'am." Respect to many in the military when addressing a woman.
Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying on the Louisiana coastal restoration process in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He began to answer one of Boxer's questions with "ma'am" when Boxer immediately cut him off.
"You know, do me a favor," an irritated Boxer said. "Could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"
"Yes, ma'am," Walsh interjected.
"It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you," she said.
For some reason this word really offends people, maybe because of the exceptionally crude sound of the word, or maybe because talking about the female genitalia is still considered unacceptable. Either way, people cannot seem to comprehend that it is just a word, making it a great thing to say around a woman you can't stand, and i want to piss her off.
