Sen. Barbara Boxer (Dumb-Calif.) made an ass of herself this week when she called a Brig. Gen. on the carpet for referring to her as "ma'am." Chuck DeVore, who is running an uphill campaign to unseat Boxer in this very blue state has made a comparison.

Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, prefers to be addressed as "Dr." She has a Ed.D. For the record: If you insist on being called "doctor" and you don't have an M.D., you've got issues.
