* Disclaimer: I don't know this news source but it's not hard to believe this happened

** Update: turns out it's a satire site

Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter refused to stay on board a Miami to New York commercial airline flight today after learning the pilot was a woman of African-American descent.

According to witness reports Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot in question may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn't fully qualified to fly.

The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught.

According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding.

5. I don't believe it

I'm no fan of coulter, but what she does is performance. She's not going to screw up her travel plans over something so petty.

7. She got her position via affirmative action.

She was a nobody but being given a daily few minute rant against Bill Clinton she got her nose in the door. Without the Clinton BJ's we would have never heard of her.

8. I was on that flight and witnessed it.

Why they didn't mention was when she shed her exoskeleton and flew away with a cloud of cicadas.
