‘Free Beacon’ Montage: ‘The Worst of Barbara Boxer’

The Worst of Barbara Boxer (Washington Free Beacon)

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) announced to her grandson Thursday she would not seek another term in 2016  in the U.S. Senate, effectively wrapping up her long, liberal legislative career.

Taking a look back, one finds such immortal moments as Boxer at a hearing irritably insisting an Army brigadier general call her “Senator” rather than say “ma’am,” which is a title of respect in the military.

“Do me a favor, could you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am’?” Boxer said. “It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it. Yes, thank you.”
