This IS a set-up and yes, papers sometimes print these sorts of things anyway.Since the Daily News is only reporting about what the maid said, it isn't " LIBEL ". They can't be sued, because they, the newspaper, didn't call Rush a known drug addict. They get around that, by saying that the maid said .....

Now, I've had housekeepers for decades and none of them would know how to, nor would they get me illicit drugs, if I were stupid enough to ask them to do so; which I am not and wouldn't do. So, the point really is, how come Rush's maid, whom he'd only hired a few weeks previously, asked her not only for some of her husband's meds, but to be his personal drug getter ?

Why would any wife take some of the pain pills, that her husband had been prescribed, and GIVE them to anyone else ? What about her husband's pain and suffering ?

The whole thing smells.

Not only that .. but Rush certainly is well off enough to be able to BUY his own .. I agree - this story has holes big enough to drive Air Force One through it.
