Senator Brown's Pickup Arrives on Capitol Hill

The newest member of the Senate, Scott Brown (R-MA) just finished casting his first votes of his Senatorial career today but what might be equally important to his supporters is that his beloved green GMC truck, one of the most memorable symbols of the campaign, has arrived at the Capitol. Brown's staff said he and his wife drove it down from Massachusetts.

*snip*

After his upset victory over Democrat Martha Coakley, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told Brown that he could park it anywhere he’d like on Capitol Hill. Looks like Brown has taken McConnell up on the offer.

The snow-covered pickup was parked just outside of Brown’s office building, across from the Capitol, where it will likely make a regular appearance. Senators are permitted to park close to their offices.

Priceless! Who is the other name Baker? Is Baker running against Patches Kennedy?

He still has his bumper sticker. Man that freaking snow is deep and high.

Look here

Baker is Charles Baker, super-duper-RINO running for MA governor. He's a supporter of illegal alien “rights” and has donated 10’s of $$$thousands to various illegal alien organizations.

That's why I am supporting Tim Cahill (IND) for MA governor. He's a former Dem, but, seems to have the ability to do math and is against the MA healthcare system, big time.

That truck above doesn’t even look the
same color as the one in the article.
That one’s so dark .. and look how
different this green is .. it’s really
green.

Must be the gray sky in DC. Color is different!

[GOPsterinMA]

Howie likes Baker, unfortunately.

The lighting is poor, which is dulling the color. The thing has more salt than an Aunt Annie’s pretzel, so I’d guess it was driven rather than towed to DC. ;-)

[GOPsterinMA]

Preaching to the choir! He’s the only horse in this race!

[STARWISE]

Is it ? The photo caption’s wrong ?

[onyx]

Oh no! Even will the illegals?

[GOPsterinMA]

Maybe? The salt residue makes a difference.

"That truck above doesn’t even look the same color as the one in the article. That one’s so dark .. and look how different this green is .. it’s really green."

It's probably just the light. I have a "forest green" Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that looks similar to the truck. Under some light conditions it's very, very dark, almost like a Charleston Green while at other times (and against other backgrounds) it has a much richer emerald appearance.
