So Richard Quest's "rising indicator" got hammered in "overnight trading". This "Commodities investor" had better come down off his "highs" and play it safe in the "muni markets".

Is that some meth in yr pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

Why do you think they call is rope?? Sounds to me like somebody's a little jealous the Pope was named "Accessorizer of the Year."

Maybe he was just taking his penis for a walk in the park.

The comments here fail to take into consideration the impaired judgment you experience when you are high on drugs. I doubt when Mr. Quest was leaving the house for the evening he said to himself "I think I might like to take a stroll in the park with my rope and dildo later" Chemicals can make you do crazy shit!

The only QUESTion now is will CNN keep him or throw him to the curb. How stupid could he be doing this in a well-patrolled city park with even more security/surveillance than usual because of the Pope staying nearby. This is 2008 New York, not 1978 New York, Richard. Be smart and keep it behind closed doors.

LEAVE THE QUEERS ALONE! seriously, I don't know why cops are spending their time busting guys like this. how are they a detriment to society? Sure, at night they put things in their asses and get loopy but by day they make drapes and vases and shit and bring my property values up. Cops should leave my precious homos alone.

The irony is that this type of sensationalist news normally makes the top headlines at CNN. I couldn't find this story on their site, not surprisingly.

Seriously I dont understand why these people don't do their dick rope fetish games at home? Did he really have to do it in the park? I don't get it,... he wakes up at night and says to himself, "ooh im horny, better go to central park, lemme just get my penis rope here... alright good to go" And does anyone really think the same thing wouldn't happen if the guy had been black? I cant see anyone getting a racial break for rope jerking in the park.

I'd frankly rather have him doing this at 4:30 am when few others are around than have to stumble across this at 4:30 pm while I'm trying to enjoy the ramble without seeing meth'd up guys with their genitals trussed. Although that does raise the possibility of a new type of birding in the park. "Look! Over there. It's a double knotted red pube engaging in his mating ritual. You rarely seem them this far south this time of year. Extraordinary!"

Maybe it was "a sex toy in his boot(y)"? His constant state of agitation would explain it. He must've been the most annoying person on CNN ever, bar Christiane Amanpour.

Geez, the cops kept Quest in custody for 12 hours! (per NYTimes) Seems kind of excessive.

Can't we just let people do what they want? Whether he's using meth or into BDSM means absolutely zero to me. On the other hand, thanks to the police department, one more man with a rope tied around his genitals is off the street. I feel safer already.

I actually think it's about the Celebrity Card-- the police have historically busted gay men in Central Park's Ramble.

I'm not one to bang on the "but what if he were a black guy" drum (the Chunginator must have something she can call her own) but I really doubt that six months of counseling and a "be good or else" slap on the wrist would have befell anyone of a browner tint in this situation. Is NYPD afraid of the Gay Card?

Absolutely Hilarious. Looks like his career in news journalism is over.
