A running commentary on the issues of the day, especially as they relate to war and politics.

Eric Cartman Says Barbara Boxer is a $^&*!

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Did you see where California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer gave a tongue-lashing to - uh, I mean, verbally criticized - Army Corps of Engineers Brigadier General Michael Walsh during a Congressional hearing last week because he referred to her as "Ma'am" instead of "Senator."

"You know, do me a favor," Boxer carped during testimony on the Louisiana coastal restoration. "Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"

"Yes, ma'am," Walsh interjected.

Then she whined that she had worked hard to acquire the title "Senator" and she wanted him to use that term.

(Here, Babs Boxer emphasizes to US troops that she will NOT be referred to as Ma'am!)

"I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it," she said.

"Yes, senator," he responded.

With the way the fatheads in Congress have been acting, that's like saying you worked hard to become a career criminal and don't want people simply referring to you as as thief. I can't think of a title that carries less impact and has less status these days than "Senator" especially if it is US Senator.

On the other hand, General Walsh, like every other person in the American armed forces has been trained for decades to use "Ma'am" when speaking with a superior who is also a female. It is a term of the highest and utmost respect.

Brig. Gen. Walsh's Army command and staff assignments, include: project management officer for Engineer Branch, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers, Europe (SHAPE); Environmental Task Force Leader, Fort Stewart, Ga.; Executive Officer, 92nd Engineer Battalion, Fort Stewart, Ga., and Saudi Arabia; and Project Engineer and Assistant Area Engineer, Baltimore District.

He graduated from Polytechnic Institute of New York in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and earned a master's degree in Construction Management from the University of Florida. His military education includes the Engineer Officers Basic and Advanced Courses, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and the U.S. Army War College.

So when the general was answering Babs Boxer, who now heads the list of Stupidest, Least Relevant, Least Informed Members of the US Senate, he was already showing her far more respect than a mindless twerp of her status ever deserved. That assessment takes on even more significance when we consider how hard he has actually worked to achieve the rank of Brigadier General.

Babs "worked hard" for her title? By doing what - winning a couple of popularity contests? Agreeing to give up more of America to fewer people who are in a position to fund her campaigns than anyone else in her state? Wow! What an accomplishment.

A commentator on my favorite military website yesterday said the real reason Babs is so testy is because she has spent so many years on her knees to keep her exalted position - praying, I presume - that her knee pads have worn out and she's all scraped and bruised.

Hey, that's as good an explanation as any, I guess.

Lot's of other commentators are calling her a b#*^! In fact, so many people are saying that, I couldn't help but be reminded of my favorite cartoon character of the modern era, Eric Cartman from South Park, and his ditty on his friend Kyle's mom. In case you have forgotten or - "shudder" - haven't seen it, I have copied the lyrics below.

I have inserted "Barbara Boxer" where the original said "Kyle's Mom." And I blanked out the "B" word, to give you, my gentle readers, the opportunity to insert a word of your choice in that space.

I don't want you to think I am using the "B" word to describe Babs. I am not. I am just using the lyrics to Kyle's Mom as a template to give you an opportunity to be creative with the English language.

Here goes:

Well, Barbara Boxer's a $^& *!,
she's a big fat $^&*!,
she's the biggest $^&*! in the whole wide world,
she's a stupid $^&*!,
if there ever was a $^&*!,
she's a $^&*! to all the boys and girls.

Monday she's a $^&*!,
on Tuesday she's a $^&*!,
on Wednesday to Saturday, she's a $^&*!,
then on Sunday, just to be different,
she's a super, king, kameha-meha $^&*!!

Have you ever met my friend Barbara Boxer,
she's the biggest $^&*! in the whole wide world,
she's a mean old $^&*!,
and she has stupid hair, she's a $^&*!,
$^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!

$^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!,
$^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!, $^&*!,
she's a stupid $^&*!,
Barbara Boxer's a $^&*! and she's
such a dirty $^&*!!

Barbara Boxer, is a $^&*!-cha!

Are you having trouble setting music to the lyrics? Here, I'll help. This came from You Tube and all you have to do is insert Barbara Boxer and use your favorite adjective in the place of $^&*! Please remember this is from South Park and thus the language is a bit rough in spots. OK, its really rough all the way through. You have been warned.

And once gain, I am not just inserting Barbara Boxer for Kyle's Mom while the rest stays the same. Let me repeat. I am not. I am simply giving the American People an opportunity to express themselves in our native language.



If it was me I'd just refer to the California Democrat as belonging to, no, actually an icon for, the lowest known grouping of near-humanity: the low-browed, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, bottom-feeding, knee-walking, snot-slinging Neanderthals.

Think about that for a minute Senator Babs. Now, wouldn't you prefer being referred to as Ma'am? Did you notice that I tend to get a bit testy when politicians insult and attempt to demean members of the US military?
