In Rich’s otherwise excellent column, he says that Scott Brown drives a Ford F-150. I suppose it’s a sign of the high esteem so many readers have for Rich, that so many have emailed me his column as proof I am wrong when I say that Barack Obama owns the company that makes Brown’s truck (Ford, unlike Chrysler and GM, has stayed free of the Leviathan’s grasp.).

Except this is one of these rare instances — as when Rich refuses to give me a raise or suggests cats are superior to dogs — where Lowry is wrong. Scott Brown drives a 2005 GMC Canyon.

In fact, it sounds like Brown has already done more to help GM sales than Obama has.

Update: Aha! Lowry is not wrong. Those of us who read him too quickly are. He doesn’t say Brown drives an F150, merely that it’s the most widely sold vehicle in America.

Update II: C’mon, folks. Please don’t email me until you’ve read the updates! If you have an objection to a post, often someone else will too. And I might have responded to it in an update! Thanks.
