Bigbull:

Your problem is not the accusation of cocaine use (since this is publicly acknowledged) but the accusation that his usage infers with his professional competency. Also, once a story is published, retractions don't work unless you are in the media. This is libel per se which means malice is inferred by the statement. Malice = punitive damages. Now maybe the law in your state is different so it would be prudent to talk to an attorney. There are many defenses to libel such as truth and privilege.

While I doubt Mr. Kudlow would waste his time on you, this should be a lesson for all to learn. Think first before you write something so stupid. I would see see an attorney who specializes in libel defense...tomorrow. Good luck.
