Taiwanese president calls Clinton 'Mrs.,' not 'Secretary'

If you mean this was a subtle way of dissing the Secretary because we caved to China and severed ties with Taiwan, I suppose you may be right. But I'm inclined to be see this as the sort of sexist, accidentally-on-purpose "slip of the tongue" with which women in positions of leadership and power have always been greeted. She's not Madam Secretary, she's Bill Clinton's wife. It's the equivalent, played out on the stage of international diplomacy, of calling your co-worker -- or a female reporter, as the case may be -- "sweetie."

Don't the Taiwanese have their own Letitia Baldridge? Sheesh.

Ma did similar thing in 2006 Taipeh mayor election.
When he failed to convince a political opponent
(James Soong) from running, he 'accidentally' revealed to the press the secret clauses for withdrawl from candidacy in his negotiation with Mr. Soong. Ma's innocent apologies did nothing to salvage the damage to Mr. Soong's reputation.

Psychologically speaking, he shares many childish behaviors described in serial.htm found at

bullyonline.org

I don't believe that Ma had the intention to diss Clinton due to the relationship between U.S. and China. Because Ma is known as being "China-Friendly" which is currently a big issue in Taiwan.

Lock of etiquette is the case here.

President Ma won't tell anyone about the Clintons' affair.

Sexist and ignorance should be the case here.

Ma never had much respect for women.
