Leo Laporte Blows up at Mike Arrington

Apparently Leo Laporte doesn’t like it when you question his integrity.

Earlier today on the Gillmor Gang show Leo Laporte cussed out Mike Arrington (the founder of TechCrunch) when Mike questioned Leo about receiving a “free” Pre from Palm. The Pre Leo got from Palm was actually a loaner that Leo is suppose to return to Palm after 7 days. Mike argued that it’s indeed “free” since most people do not return the loaner products.

I’m not usually interested in drama, but I was amazed to see Leo go off. I’ve been watching him since The Screensavers and I’ve never once seem him lose his cool.

Mike apologized via TechCrunch and it looks like he has been forgiven.
