She’s a regular Ann Frank in the sufferin’ dept.

She's 6' tall, has long legs and paid more for an extra legroom seat.

I'm tall, I used to fly a lot and was allowed to book exit row seats, which usually have extra legroom. If they kicked me out, all I could do would be to write a nasty letter to the CEO.

But she's Anne Coulter and has 1.6 million Twitter followers.

Only question I have is why wasn't she flying First Class?

“Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?’ Flight attendant: “I don’t know.”

So find out idiot!

[wintertime]

Actually, it has been ten years or more since I have flown.

Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I can see why she would be upset.

Why the big deal about moving to another seat?

Probably because Ms. Coulter paid the extra fee to purchase that seat. Delta sells the exit row seats for an extra fee, typically around $50.

If you paid $50 extra for a particular seat would you be bothered if the airline moved you to another seat?

Not me. With this chemo I’m taking, I sleep most of the day and all night too!!!!!!

[PhiloBedo]

I only fly delta if I can’t get on SWA. With delta the odds are better than even I won’t make the connecting flight.

She hooked and paid extra for - an extra room seat

Oh, I thought she made money from her writing.

Racism.

I met Ann Coulter at a GOP Women's convention in Tampa several years ago,and was shocked that she was about a foot taller than me. She is a fun gal in person,and some of the other gals I was with went out with her,and had a blast. I don't always agree with her,but she is right on this. My maid of honor at my wedding got a blood clot in her leg on an airplane flight which soon went to her lung,and she almost died. If the Airlines don't know about this issue,they are negligent.

Speaking of lib-jerk...

[Joe Bfstplk]

Could’ve been worse. She could have acted like a bend-over conservative, apologizing for being a seat that she paid for and was now being given to someone else.

This is what redistribution of the wealth looks like.

Why the big deal about moving to another seat?

So you buy a seat behind the home-team's dugout, and a usher says you have to get up and gives you a seat out in right field.

Understand now?

Wrong. She’s acting like a consumer who expects to get what she paid for. If you had purchased a Cadillac and were told you must take delivery on a Vega, if you complained would you be a “lib jerk”?

I figure some lib with power recognized her and wanted to harass her.

[wintertime]

Thank you for the explanation.

[wintertime]

I get it now. Thanks.

[usconservative]

Coulter acting like lib jerk.

Exactly how is demanding that one receives what it is they paid for acting like a lib jerk?

[publius911]

Delta did not give her what she paid for and offered no explanation.

An explanation was offered... "I don't know."

Maybe the black flight attendant lost a bet...
Perhaps it was a "watch this" moment.

Who knows?

[publius911]

This seems to be a none issue to me. if she was setting alone and a family wants to set together...

Good grief! what has happened to our language?
This poor woman was hatching eggs?

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Ann coulter has long scrawny legs...

She is welcome to wrap them around me anytime!
