The Unfortunate Mr. Quest

Stumbled on this article today while reading the news. Richard Quest, CNN International reporter, was busted in Central Park last night. From the NY Post:

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.

You think he'd like a do-over? The Post, never known for being subtle, goes on:

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.

This bespeaks a monolithic fundamentalist view of the middle-east (Iran has one of the biggest drug-abusing populations in the world.) But in light of current events, maybe it was the right call.
