Did George Snuffleuppagus on 'this week' call Conartist Rice...

[Deja Q]

"Madame Secretary"?!?!?!?

Sweet gerbils of life, what sort of drug is Snuffy there taking?!

[Dookus]

1. I think that's the standard form of address

It was used for Madeline Albright, too.

Janet Reno, however, was called "General Reno", which is way cool :)

2. That's how you address a woman Secretary of State.

If it had been Madeline Albright, she would also have been called "Madam Secretary."

3. George goes about...

His merry beltway life, doing merry beltway things in a merry beltway way. His merry beltway life has little in common with either our life or his life, before he got a merry beltway life. He is now part of a pantheon of who live a heightened existance, one few of us "one fodder units" will ever know.

He is our better. Really. Just ask him. It's a different reality, one we are not equipped to understand.

4. I think "Madam" is perfectly appropriate in Condi's case.

:evilgrin:

[alcuno]

6. She's Mademoiselle.

Unmarried.

5. she pays, he dances

slack jawed ninnies, both of them...madam secretary!...what a goof

[Nite Owl]

7. I think that is the proper

form but sort of 'French' isn't it, maybe it irked her.

[BrainRants]

8. I thought he said "Madman"

and at the end he thanked her by saying "fuckyou very much" :)
