Barbara Boxer "Don't call me Ma'am" (VIDEO)

Don't call Barbara Boxer "ma'am." You'll be sorry.
Brigadier General Michael Walsh made that mistake when he was being questioned by Boxer.
Walsh uttered the unthinkable. He called Boxer the M-word and proceeded to answer her question. She interrupted Walsh, chastising him.
BARBARA BOXER: I would... You know... Do me a favor. Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am'? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. So I'd appreciate it. Yes, thank you.
Oh, good grief.
That rebuke was completely uncalled for. Walsh was not being disrespectful in any way.
Boxer made a fool of herself. She didn't have to work too hard to do that.
