Call Me Senator - From David Zucker
If you remember the verbal exchanges
a few years ago, between Senator Barbara Boxer (D) CA and the Army
Brigadier General, when she asked him to call her Senator instead of
Ma'am (because she'd worked so hard to get her title), you'll love this
little video!!
It's an honorific, not a title. The US Constitution forbids the granting of titles. And the honorific for the rank MajGen actually is General. (What? Yeah, I'm a retired LtCol, but you use the honorific, Colonel. I worked so hard …)
That's a funny clip all right. Everybody wants respect deserved or not. The only respect I can offer the Senator is a choice of a hood or no hood when she hangs. And that's only because she's female.
"That's Senator Ass Clown. I worked so hard to get to this point."
ReplyDeleteWe should just call her Dumbass. She obviously worked very hard for that title, too.

ReplyDeleteIsn't the Major-General explaining military protocol Nick Searcy from Justified?
