Again-----meaning Fox News most likely had no idea of his background. Since liberals/Democrats now suddenly seem to be so OUTRAGED over this.....I'd like to take the opportunity to ask you all to JOIN those of us who have for a long time sought STRICTER laws on open records and NOT protecting these sleazebags. So, will you join us now and demand it from your legislators?

Can we now make laws where someone who did this in college, doesn't get a freebie? That it's on their record for LIFE? That it's in some kind of searchable Database?

What say you Dems? On board now?

Which demographic does that include? Hmm?

This arrest was last April of 2008.

"CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said. Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.

"On his official CNN bio, the network calls him “one of the most instantly recognizable members of the CNN team.”

I say I am glad he was caught. Some glaring differences though.

He was not exploiting children, he was only harming himself.

You did not show if he has previously been arrested for this type of behavior. If he has, I would say CNN is as equally stupid as Fox is for hiring this clown.

Now, did you honestly think I would defend idiocy?

After making your excuses, no.

I do think that you're mostly interested in blasting Fox and any Republican for wrongdoing, but not Democrats or liberal organizations. I have no dout that had your thread pertained to MSNBC or CNN, you would NOT even have started a thread on it. And your insenuation that Fox knew, but hired him anyway, or was negligent in hiring him, was quite ridiculous and hypocritical.

Are you willing, like me, to really crack down on these people legally?
