KINKY NEWS NETWORK CNN'S QUEST A VERY 'KNOTTY' BOY

This is CNN? Kinky!

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time - something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying "Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m."

Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.

It wasn't immediately clear what the rope was for.

“a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals”?

Prone to misplace them?

[no dems]

Can this world get any crazier?

It wasn't immediately clear what the rope was for.

Hey Quest, why the long face?

Heyooo.

[ovrtaxt]

Dick Quest ith FABulouth!!!!

[Leisler]

I get the feeling that when he said he had something his pocket, wink wink, Quest wasn't talking about the meth. Poor chap, thought he was going to get a threesome.

He can get help from a rabbi, and drug counseling, but the CNN thing...is hopeless.

[Just mythoughts]

Never heard of him, is he an Obama drag or a Hillary queen?

[Ezekiel]

That guy is (was) waaay too high strung and giddy on the job. Zealous ain't the word. Pleasant and likeable though, in a weird, unsettling kind of way.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Does the author mean his shoe or his trunk? Or maybe he has more than one vehicle, so the toy would have been found in his trunks. Is Anderson Cooper deeply saddened?

[nkycincinnatikid]

The rope, the toy, can’t a guy play with his pet gerbil in the park anymore?

[Popman]

He was reportedly once offered a position for the English-language version of the controversial Al Jazeera network, but said he turned it down because being gay and Jewish, he didn't think it would be a good fit.

[dangus]

They don’t know what he was doing??? Um, he’s in central park in the middle of the night with wierd sexual devices... and he’s named “Dick Quest.”

[tlb]

“a sex toy in his boot”

I haven’t decided if they mean his shoe, or something else.

“fear of showers” = Ablutophobia

[billhilly]

Media really does matter. Could it be that Media Matters honcho, David Brock was his playmate in the park?

[Leisler]

He is a Brit, so ‘boot’ could be the....er...forghedaboutit!

[RU88]

To say this guy has some “issues” would be the understatement of the day. WTF?

[hinckley buzzard]

Too bad, I always rather enjoyed Quest's unique style when he was on US CNN back in the day. Haven't seen him for a long time but then I don't get CNN-International.
