I don't think it matters whether the ideas were original or not, the polite thing to do would be to acknowledge your input.
Oh, that was your new boss, not the boss-boss. It still seems to me, from how you described the situation, that she could have handled it better. But maybe it's important to her to appear bossy and give directions rather than ask nicely?
From her reaction to the joke on her expense, I think she might have responded negatively to his putting down S and the others -- just because she didn't acknowledge it to you, doesn't mean she didn't think it. Maybe it's another case of Being Boss, and maybe sharing that with people below her isn't something she thinks is appropriate. So, yes, what you said :D
