Richard Quest, CNN's Meth-Using Reporter, Enters Rehab

CNN has announced that Richard Quest, who was arrested last week in New York's Central Park and voluntarily told officers that he had meth in his pocket (he also had a rope around his neck tied to his genitals), is entering rehab. The statement:

Richard Quest has entered a drug rehabilitation facility. At this time, CNN's primary concern is for his health and well being. We look forward to Richard returning to CNN International.

Quest old chap, get well soon!.

If millions of Europeans and Americans didn't use expensive drugs, there would be no drug industry in South America and Afghanistan. The war on terror should start by cracking (hehe) down on heroin use because Afghanistan is the world's largest producer and all that money goes to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

I love him. Please get well soon.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Hope this guy never returns. He is the most annoying person ever. That voice alone is enough. Maybe he was high as a kite every time I viewed him for a minute or two. Until I just couldn't handle him anymore.

I had never seen Richard Quest before CNN. I had no idea he was ever a business reporter.
I like him. I think he is entertaining.
I hope he will find healing. I was saddened to read this report.
It must be very difficult to have one's personal problems made so public.

Okay, I admit is. I'm naive, but what's with the rope around the neck and genitals? What does that do? Seriously.

......he was practicing his golf swing and the rope around his genitals helps him keep his head down.............just a guess........

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

Should we be sending some rope to Fox News?

Those little weenies just need some #3 thread and a thimble

Huh. I've known a lot of people ON a Dick Quest, but who would have known someone named their poor child Dick Quest. Johnny Quest would have been better even though it's already been used!!

Look at the apparent emotional scarring the name has caused. Walking around town with a rope attached to his winkie?????

I just hope the media will have the decency to leave this one alone. This isn't some multimillionaire starlet who will profit from the infamy this incident brings with it.

Great comment! I've enjoyed Richard Quest from the first time I saw him. He is certainly engaging and entertaining. Hope he's back soon. Sadly, some just won't let this drop.

I got interested in business news at the BBC because of Richard Quest. But after he vacated to CNN, he turned himself into a global jester. Yes, a Global Jester. Anyway Richard, please return to the BBC, and get your dignity back. You fooled yourself, but I cross my fingers anyway for a speedy recovery!

[AbrakadaBarak]

I thought business news on TV was boring, until I followed Richard Quest at the BBC. But lately, after he moved to CNN, he's disappointed me. From being a good business reporter at the BBC, to a global jester for CNN. I'm not surprised. Richard, return to BBC after your rehab, and do what you do best, i.e. business reporting. Hope you get your sanity back. Crossing my fingers for you!

"he also had a rope around his neck tied to his genitals), is entering rehab"

I have no idea where to begin on this...............

[truthyguy]

so I assume you also have no comment on the dildo found in his boot.

How does anyone get so screwed up (so to speak) and still find an employer to pay him a 6 figure salary?

You absolutely wouldn't recognize the world we live in if the people who were sex fiends had never existed.
