I must have blinked
I completely missed this story on CNN talking head, Richard Quest, arrest in Central Park at 3 am with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot--according to the police report. He was accompanied by an unidentified male.
I have to ask myself if Quest's personal habits have an effect on his business travel reporting. Will there be some kind of backlash against Quest, or will everything be ok once he reveals whether or not he was playing "safe" with his midnight male park escort?
According to the New York Post article quest is "one of the most popular faces on CNN". I'm not sure we will see Quest on CNN again after this bust, or is this a new type of travel reporting the Ted Turner news station will soon be rolling out. One thing is for sure, Quest is in demand. The post reported that:
Quest was 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.
Sounds like a pretty sober assessment Dick.
