Pill Mix-up Gave Pol a Hard Night

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."

"Yeah, I thought I was taking the sleeping pill. Took the wrong one. Still got the white one," Kott said.

"You're something else," Allen said, laughing. "You're something else, Pete."

Kott wants the evidence kept from the jury.

Pharmaceuticals... given to another person? Is that legal?

(and a goddamn tough security code to read with that new multicolored background...have mercy on us presbyopes!)

Of course it's illegal to give pharmaceuticals to someone if you're not a doctor. Since when has something illegal ever stopped them?

They are only sorry when they get caught. What a bunch of dingbats these people are.

SC - Sound--I hear the sound of cell doors slamming shut.

Sounds like a script from an incoherent teen movie.

Good thing the security code 'soap' isn't any harder to make out. Are you trying to limit discussion?

As to poor Mr. Kott -- guess he didn't get to use the 'little blue pill' for its purpose. 'What a MAROON!!' as Bugs Bunny would say.

I kept thinking that these folks couldn't get any more sleazy or stupid. Guess I was wrong.

One pill makes it larger, and one pill makes it small.

Pete, you're a classy man. What the fuck is wrong with Alaska?

That's why they give Viagra to the guys in the nursing home....so they won't roll out of bed at night.

The brown pill makes you larger
The white pill makes you small
And the ones that VECO gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Allen
When he's out in the hall.

And if you go chasing chemists
You must know you’re going to fall
Tell ‘em a VECO lobbyist
Has given you the call
Recall Allen
When he’s just in the hall

When the man on the telephone
Calls up and tells you how to vote
And you've just had some kind of sex pill
And your mind's on Prewitt's boat
Go ask Allen
I think he’ll know

When charges and indictments
Swirl all ‘round Uncle Ted
And Vic Kohring’s talking backwards
And the verdict’s “off with your head”
Remember, what Pete Kott said:
“I think we’re dead”
“I think we’re dead”

Don't you think the likely story here is that the sleeping pill was meant for Pete and the other one was meant for Bill? By the way, didn't Larry Craig make it a habit of making his way up to Alaska for the annual fishing tournament?
