You need to check this video out. Can you believe the nerve of this woman? She interrupted an important discussion on national security issues to chastise a Brigadier General for addressing her as ma’am. In her usual condescending tone, she asked this man (who has dedicated his life to protecting his country) to start using the title of Senator, a title she has “worked so hard to get”.
Last time I checked, ma’am was short for Madam, which itself is a term of respect, like calling someone a Lady. I have no doubt that this “servant of people” has worked very hard to get that oh so precious title of Senator, but I think she needs to work a little harder to earn the title of ma’am, Madam, or Lady.
