WTF CNN's British Accented "Expert" Richard Quest??? [View all]

[NYC_SKP]

I loathe him, they call him and aviation expert but I think they call him a different kind of expert with each passing week.

I guess it's the accent that gives him such a tone of authority.

So I Googled him, couldn't get past this story from a couple years back, "a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals":

Richard Quest, CNN Reporter, Arrested On Drug Charges



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 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.
