AP: Brown cuts backroom deals he campaigned against

An AFR event in Boston is referenced in this AP article.  Excerpt:

Advocates of the bill to rein in Wall Street were casting Brown’s dealmaking as a shift from underdog candidate in a pickup truck to something more amorphous. The Massachusetts branch of Americans for Financial Reform planned a news conference to try to present him Thursday with a new BMW.

“Since Sen. Brown is willing to gamble with American consumers, he’s sending the signal that he wants to trade in his iconic truck for something a little more luxurious, something more in line with the kinds of cars that his Wall Street cronies are driving,” the group said in a press release.
