Leo Laporte is the host of the always entertaining and informative MacBreak Weekly podcast, and while taping an episode of the TWiT podcast earlier today, he blew up at TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington for implying that his positive impressions of the Pre were influenced by the fact that he received a free review unit from Palm to use for for a week. This isn’t really Mac-related but is entertaining nonetheless. Leo seems like a stand-up guy, so it’s interesting to see him blow up at someone for questioning his integrity.
A few hours later, Arrington wrote a public apology to Leo which he subsequently accepted.

This altercation happened during the “Gillmor Gang” show, which is carried on the TWIT network.
