I've always enjoyed Richard Quest's reporting on CNN (if you don't know the name, the face and voice will remind you who he is). He was the wacky Brit who always had a funny take on politics, current events and pop culture. I thought he was just some crazy, comical Brit reporter. Now we find out that he's a crazy, comical Brit reporter/meth fan.
The New York Times is reporting that Quest was arrested in Central Park at 3:40 this morning. He was originally arrested because the park is closed between the hours of 1am and 6am and he was trespassing, but as he was being taken out of the park by police, he disclosed that he had meth in his pocket. In fact, his exact words were "I have meth in my pocket." At least you have to give him points for honesty and accuracy.
No official reaction from CNN yet, but stay tuned.

I don't know who this guy is, but please God do something right and get the following people in trouble: Dobbs, (that guy is off his crazy right wing rocker), Cooper, (must we be thrilled that he can speak?) - hell, get rid of all of CNN. This is not what the great Ted Turner had in mind and ain't the most trusted name in news.

Wolf must be hittin' the bong, there's no way he could possibly be that boring otherwise.
