i've always enjoyed Quest's over enthusiasm, though more so when he was with BBC and not the token limey on CNN. Now that i know he's all about rope and dope in the park after dark, i like him even more! He should spice up his business traveler reports with some of those points of interest.

@Styxwader: My husband and I actually spent a ridiculous amount of time discussing that issue while at a diner this morning over bangers and mash.

Ever since his days on BBC world, I've been a big Dick Quest fan.

Although British, he's always reminded me of a flappy-headed Canadian.

At least some people are doing something other than following the SS Pope all over town. Cruisin 2008 starring Dick Quest--the Post adds today that the perp was wearing a primitive kind of cock and ball torture rope thing under his clothes at the time of the arrest. My kinda man!

I kind of like his insane TV shtick, which has always seemed bizarrely out of place on CNN. But the meth does explain a lot.

This makes sooo much sense. No wonder he was an annoying spaz (I'm referring the meth, not the geigh, obvs). I hated when he would come on CNN in the middle of the night/early morning and bark a bunch of insanity. I came to mute the TV the moment he was in frame.

@VirusWithShoes:

As a rule I'll drop to my knees for anything with a British accent, and twice as fast if he says "fink" instead of "think," but that queen's almost astonishingly irritating. He's like some minstrel show version of an actual Englishman.

I think he should be deported immediately. If you don't want him, send him to Reykyayayayayayvik.

Quest, host of CNN Business Traveler, is openly gay, btw, which is maybe why he was hanging around the park at 3:40 a.m. with meth in his pocket.

Please don't confuse us openly gays with the confused, "straight" or "bi-curious" married guys on the D.L. Openly gays don't hide in bushes. Thank you.
