Well, Anderson Cooper was ready to pounce and did just that, tearing Heidi Montag to shreds, saying she’s found a “fresh new way to embarrass herself.”
As they debated the issue of religious tolerance, the conversation took a turn when Sharpton pointed out that Anderson may land in Hell for his behavior, whatever that might be…
Says Sharpton:
“I may have some very conservative personal feelings but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I may think that what you do Anderson is gonna put you in Hell, but I’m gonna defend your right to get there.”
Did Sharpton just personally attack Anderson Cooper and call him gay?
Answered Anderson:
“I appreciate all your concerns about my afterlife. I’m personally not all that concerned, but that’s a whole other discussion.”
First Obama isn’t black enough, now he’s “deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to justify his own world view.”
Why does it have to come down to race and religion? I’m more concerned about ending a (at least at this point) senseless war, affordable health care, global warming and lowering gas prices.
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.
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.
The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time – something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying “Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.”
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.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the rope was for.
The criminal complaint says the officer at the scene was able to ID the drug because of “his prior experience as a police officer in drug arrests, observation of packaging which is characteristic of this type of drug, and defendant’s statements that . . . ‘I’ve got some meth in my pocket.’ ”
He was charged with loitering and criminal possession of a controlled substance. His unusual get-up didn’t lead to a lewdness charge because he wasn’t exposing himself, the police source said.
Quest’s unidentified companion was given a summons for not carrying any identification, the source said.
Quest’s lawyer, Alan Abramson, had a much more innocuous version of events.
“Mr. Quest didn’t realize that the park had a curfew,” Abramson said. He was simply “returning to his hotel with friends.”
At a hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court, Quest agreed to undergo six months of drug counseling in return for an “adjournment in contemplation of dismissal,” which means the misdemeanor charges against him will be dropped and the case sealed if he stays out of trouble and completes his drug program.
He was released with no bail after spending most of the day behind bars.
Both news people and politicians have gone to the shitter. Although it’s been a long time since Richard has posted on his blog at CNN — it might be a good place to leave him a message.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “And I thought Anderson Cooper was the kinky bitch at CNN.”
Gawker says, “Using the trash can drug meth makes a person mighty paranoid. So it was probably fear of having his genitals stolen that moved CNN talker Brian Quest (who is British) to attach them to his neck with a rope.”
