A photo reportedly taken Wednesday night could show Sen. Richard Burr's car illegally parked outside The Capitol Hill Club.

That's the conclusion reached by Anne Schroeder, on Politico's Shenanigans blog. Burr does drive a Volkswagen "Thing."

The photo could also show a grainy image of someone else's VW. Dome can't help but notice the license plate in the image has been heavily altered, although it was probably just lightened. A Burr spokesman could not be reached Thursday to settle the question.
