When airline authorities first made the rule to turn off your cell phones before takeoff, they clearly didn't take into account the impending era of "the CrackBerry." The New York Post reports that Huffington Post founder and media titan Arianna Huffington wasn't quite ready to put her BlackBerry phone down during takeoff for her short flight from Washington, D.C., to NYC over the weekend, prompting a jabber match with a nearby passenger and an escorted removal by security after landing."She wouldn't turn off her BlackBerry, even when we pushed back from the gate," one passenger told Valleywag."We took off, and it became apparent that the phone was still on, which very much upset her neighbor."
After the passenger, Ellis Bellodof, 53, repeatedly asked Huffington, 60, to turn her phone off at around 10PM, the two caused a disturbance and were removed from the plane for questioning after landing in New York's LaGuardia Airport. Both were released without charges.

Steve, what planet do you live on? Bush started an illegal war where 200,000 people died, based on his arrogant lies. The FOX news network is full of bombastic, arrogant talk show hosts. You white male conservatives are the most arrogant.
200,000 died. LOL Nice revisionist disinformation. BEsides, who cares how amny of the enemy dies? Liberal twit.
Greenred, you're an idiot. This moron should have just turned the phone off, but apparently they are too special to follow the rules.
my thoughts exactly.
Huffington is the quintessential douche bag!
greenred: Steve is correct! Which planet do YOU live on? All of your demicrat heroes went along with everything that Bush asked for;do not forget that Bush had to request permission of the congress to send the troops into battle...Or,did you choose to ignore that part of the equation, as usual?
She is a former REPUG, must have kept some of their traits!
Poor baby, she was probably late for her manicure due to the rude airline rules. Surely they don't apply to her.
Arianna is a REPUBLICAN you stupid azz. I laughed and laughed at your post. Google it. I did.
To NYBill:
YOU forgot that Bush went to Congress asking for permission to invade Iraq by falsely saying Saddam had WMDs. The CIA, the UN weapons inspectors, and our own military (after 7 YEARS) didn't find any. Naturally, Congress approved, and only after the truth came out did members with enough guts speak out against Bush.
As far as Huffington goes, it's simple--she's just another (semi)famous person who thinks the rules don't apply to her.
It's too bad so many people have to put their foolish political spin on every issue....political or not.
What does this have to do with politics? You people are ridiculous.
bill,
When was the last time you took your medication? It is interesting! When a leftard gets into trouble he is just a famous person who does not think the rules apply to her. When a conservative gets into trouble then he is an evil republican/conservative who is stupid idiot against the whole society. LOL.
I guess that Ms. Huffington thinks that she is above that rules that the rest of us mere mortals have to abide by. HAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm all for that, too!!
So typical. All the media people (on both sides) think rules don't apply to them. I'm so sick of these idiots. Turn your phone off if they ask. Shut up, sit down, be a human being. Nobody cares about you.

Why do we keep hearing of this? Do these people think they are that special that the turning your phone off on a plane rule doesn't apply to them...it is rediculous. Turn your dang phone off, you are NOT that important! These are probably the same people that clearly do not know how to board a plane either...stay OUT of the aisle while there are people trying to get to there seats and the plane will get off the ground alot faster. I could go on and on about this...it just seems when people board a plane, they lose all their brain cells.
