"Call me, irresponsible, call me..."

Barbara Boxer joins moths in flight to the flames: "'Thank you for calling me 'Senator' and not 'sir,' McCain said to the host, grinning."

See? It's started already; just one of a gadzillion snipes speeding into the lexicon.

It’s Liz and Babs week in DC. Evidently Barbara Boxer screwed the pooch and missed the news – wrong week to whine over appellations. Didn’t she hear about the obsessed and now famous “Elizabeth” going berserk over being called “Liz”?

Now Boxer is “Babs” in every GOP jokefest in every bar on every coast. Of course, in the heartland she’s still the good ‘ole San Francisco liberal bitch, scratching endlessly on the blackboard with her hippie fingernails.
