[edit] Why is she called "the Honorable?"

I don't see any reason why she should be called "the Honorable." Judges are called "the Honorable." Was she ever a judge? GhostofSuperslum 12:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The Honourable explained that just about anyone inside of the federal government may be called "the Honorable." Even unimportant people such as Hazel R. O'Leary may be called "the Honorable" in the United States. I may change my UserName in Wikipedia now; to theHonorable. GhostofSuperslum 12:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I suspect that, certainly, after exiting as an employee of the federal government, "the Honorable" Hazel R. O'Leary lost her entitlement to be called "the Honorable." The descriptive probably applies to people who are currently federal employees, not to has-beens. Would someone please clarify the conditions? Thank you in advance. theHonorable (perhaps?)

By the way, she is called "the Honorable" at Fisk University, not at this page. theHonorable excellency GhostofSuperslum 15:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
