Just came across this further clarification from someone who wrote the book on protocol: Robert Hickey, who authored " Honor & Respect: The Official Guide to Names, Titles, and Forms of Address" Published by The Protocol School of Washington discussed the the very topic, noting:

This was a clash of cultures. In my book I show a Senator is initially addressed in conversation as Senator (name) and then as Senator in extended conversation. On Capital Hill that's the traditional form of address. Senator Boxer was asking for her traditional form of address. (Colleagues of mine point out that the way she did it and her tone of voice was scolding .... and could have been accomplished in a more appropriate manner. )

The attitude shown by that to-me putrid Boxer thing is indicative of the elite-class attitude possessed by so many of our elites towards the common folk.

Convinced that the USA is in the throes of class warfare, the spewing of that loathsome Boxer creature does not surprise me.

Our elites are a greater threat to the common folks (96 percent of Americans) freedoms and prosperity that all foreign terrorists combined.

The Females as Property Movement demands that the daffy dame Boxer remove herself from politics and henceforth engage in activities suitable for an emotion-laden illogical irrational typical female… for the good of society as well as for herself since the Boxer broad has proven her inability to operate adequately within adult society
