When TPMmuckraker reporter Laura McGann came on staff a couple months ago I think she probably thought I was consigning her to the backwaters of muckdom when I told her to make Alaska one of her beats. By now she must be thanking me.

You already know the crusty Sen. Stevens (R-AK) is being investigated in the VECO bribery scandal. And two weeks ago Laura broke the story of Sen. Murkowski's (R-AK) sweetheart, half-priced land deal with Alaska businessman and Salmon fishing czar Bob Penney.

Now Alaska's a small state, in population terms at least, so that only leaves one more member of Congress: Rep. Don Young (R-AK).

And now we get news tonight that Young too is also under investigation in the VECO probe.

Quite a delegation!
