"Senator, I knew Jimi Hendrix, and that is not funny."

-A very serious woman in a book store at the mall. I have trouble believing that a US senator and a friend of Jimi Hendrix just happened to be in the same book store, but I know I didn't hear her wrong.

So, if a person had the last name Senator, and was elected to Senatorial office, they'd oficially be called Senator Senator?

Maybe she was talking to a book. Maybe she was browsing, and looking through a book written by a senator who said something snide about Hendrix, and she just felt the need to respond. Or perhaps the ghost of an old racehorse accompanies her everywhere, and she was expressing her dismay to him about a bad Hendrix biography.
