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.
