Theres nothing - ahem - sketchtastic about any of this. Its only likely that politicians will have money in Drugs. It WOULD be sketchy if they knew EXPLICITILY what money they had and with what companies (like FRIST is alleged to know) - THAT would be illegal, as their money is supposed to go into "blind trusts" that they dont have access to.

The tone of the article is specious. Congressmen vote on laws that affect EVERYTHING - theres no way they ARENT going to vote on an issue with they dont have any personal/financial stake in.
