Dick Quest: "Honest, officer, the dildo just jumped into my boot!"

Regarding the rope, would you say that he wanted to be "hanged" or "hung"?

Better ask Andrew Sullivan.

"Mr. Quest didn't realize that the park had a curfew," any other time of day, walking around Central Park with drugs in your pocket, a rope around your neck tied to your genitals and a sex toy in your boot, just makes good sense.

Gino,
I liked that observation so much I altered the title!

Quest should have claimed to be one of Pia Lindman's students.

I'm a middle aged, heterosexual female living in suburban Canada and I knew he wasn't caught "loitering". I guess I watch too much "Law and Order" because rope, drugs, sex toy, Central Park, late at night, and some unnamed other guy spelled out kinky, anonymous sex encounter loud and clear. Either I need to take a good look at my reading and TV watching habits or Glenn & Ann are living in a bubble.

Just another example of the toll that the pressure of working in modern media is taking on staff, I suggest formation of a blue (or pink) ribbon comission to examine the root causes of this phenomenon. These media guys are like ticking time bombs. We never know when one of them will explode, and God knows what they are capable of.

Don't you see? 'Tis all very evident: it's Bush's fault.

No doubt Karl Rove, "The Neo-Con Whore of Dubya-Sauron," is even now deep within his secret underground lair, underneath Mount Doom, idly stroking his "Preciousssssssssss....." and muttering,

"Fools, fools CNN! We hates it! We hates it! We hates it forever!"

I know quite a few tweakers here in this little town, and yes they do tend to go on and on and on and on..........

Maybe he's just a member of Opus Dei out for a stroll with his spiritual advisor while mortifying his flesh for God.

This "Dick" Quest is a Brit, isn't he? Aren't all Limey journalists poofters until proven otherwise?

I always knew Quest was an "ass", I guess I didn't realize in what way exactly.
Just thought he was a typical, run-of-the-mill obnoxious journalist (sorry for the redundancy).
Well, he ought to have fun in the lockup down at the precinct house.
