Pill Mix-up Gave Pol a Hard Night
By Laura McGann - September 5, 2007, 3:14 PM

The Alaska-Veco scandal just got sexier -- sort of. Now all it needs is rock and roll.

According to court documents, the FBI recorded former Alaska House Speaker Pete Kott and former Veco CEO Bill Allen talking about sleeping and sexual enhancement pills Allen gave Kott. Unfortunately for Kott, he seemed to get the pharmaceuticals confused:

"Man, I've been having a hard time sleeping," Kott complained to Allen.

"So that worked pretty good," Allen said, laughing.

"Which ones are which?" said Kott.

"Goddamn it, I told you now, just use the white ones ... to sleep," Allen reminded him. "And the the goddamn, ah, brown or whatever they are, that's for (explicit language for sex), and the other one is for sleeping."

My god! What were they thinking.

TPM has been covering the Alaska stuff pretty regularly. Thanks for the link to the local coverage. It's great stuff.

4. It all just really brings a smile to our faces...
...especially given the trouble that Ted Stevens and Don Young are in, too. VECO - the gift that keeps on giving. :)

6. From sea to shining sea
Their arrogance has been their undoing. I know that they are imploding here in Kansas. I'm loving it.
