Arianna Huffington was escorted by Port Authority police off United Flight 7118 at La Guardia on Saturday night after refusing to turn off her Blackberry, according to a report by Gawker's Valleywag. They have some good detail (if true) from a fellow passenger, and also have asked Huffington's PR rep for a response. The flight was a shuttle from Washington and landed at LaGuardia without incident.
