3. She's trying to stir up attention by rage-tweeting

about an airline moving her seat selection within the same row. Even though airline problems have been in the news lately - and she is apparently trying to capitalize on that - switching a seat from the one you booked isn't exactly in the same category as being roughed up and ejected from the plane by being dragged down the aisle (and she was absolutely hateful toward that guy because he was an immigrant).

She got where she was going, with her bony ass in a seat in the same row as the one she'd booked. Delta refunded the $30 reservation fee. But she just can't shut up about how badly she was treated because DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Nobody cares, Ann. Rage-tweeting against a huge airline that didn't do her any significant harm won't win you any new book contracts or appearances on state TV (Fox). It might generate more business for Delta, though.

You may not have a seat in the future...too unstable...for most passengers...I sure hope that pic you took of the person in your seat sues the arse off you for not getting permission to publically air...

My kiddos flew Delta - June 7th from Phoenix to SF to Japan to Manila..on their way to Cebu, and back thru Manila to Japan to Seattle to Phoenix July 6th - their experience..one word "uneventful", just the way it should be....so annabanana STFU!

Can't find it now but it went something like this:

Coulter Tweet: blah blah blah whine, etc

Tweet A: Children are dying in Africa, Ann.

Tweet B: Quit trying to cheer her up.

Still waiting for facts from you!

Fact = no facts from you.

This is so typical of what you do!
Give a scenario intended to stir shit up.
Then get mad when you don't get expected results.
Repeat.

We're moving on. Got new choices to try out.

11. It seems like a good moment to re-tell my favorite Ann Coulter story
Mon Jul 17, 2017, 03:26 PM
Jul 2017

She was at home in Connecticut, and got a call to come in to New York City for a quickly put-together talk show spot on Fox Noise.

She calls her chauffeur and they head out. She tells him to step on in, but taking a curve too quickly in a rural area before the Interstate, he runs into, and kills an aged cow. There is a farm house close by, and they assume, correctly, that they were the owners of the newly deceased cow. She tells her chauffeur to run to the farm house, settle the damages for the cow and hurry back.

The chauffeur rushes to the house, is invited inside, and doesn't return for almost two hours, his uniform and hair seriously disheveled. Furious with rage, Coulter screams at her chauffeur to explain why he needed nearly two hours to settle the affair and why he suddenly looked like such a mess. He explained that he told them what she had told him to say, and they insisted he sit down for a nice home-cooked meal, whereupon their eldest daughter, a gorgeous woman of 25, took him upstairs for a good time.

Nearly apoplectic, Coulter demands the he tell her exactly what he said. "Just what you told me to say, Ms. Coulter," he said. "I told them that I was Ann Coulter's driver, and that I had just killed the old cow."

will shut the fuck up about it. It will be worth it just to not have to hear about it anymore. God, is that bitch ever going to stop whining about it?

14. They refunded her money

and apologized and basically said "Sorry you're so pissed about this, you could have handled it better." What more need they explain?

Be happy it wasn't United. They would have deplaned her through a window.

16. What was she doing in the exit row, in the first place?

1. There's no way on earth she felt it her duty to aid others in an emergency because you're expected to be the last person out after you've helped all other passengers. Nope. Not in her character to help anyone.

2. Coultergeist has to run around in the shower to get wet; therefore, there's no reason she "needs" extra room.

3. She also lacks the physical strength to open the exit door. No wonder Delta put a healthier looking person in that seat!
