And now for some gloating

You knew it was coming, folks...Here's Tom Reilly's take on Deval Patrick's Ameriquest exit.

A question to ponder: if you were Patrick's campaign manager, would you tell him to follow through on his recent promise to disclose his board compensation? Discuss! (I say yes, but I'm no political operative.)

STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL TOM REILLY ON DEVAL PATRICK'S RESIGNATION FROM BOARD OF AMERIQUEST

"One of the major differences between Deval Patrick and me comes down to one word - Ameriquest. While I fought them and helped get millions of dollars back for Massachusetts residents who were scammed by this predatory company, he was on their payroll.

"I find his "mission accomplished" declaration very troubling because there is no evidence that this predatory company has changed. Today's announcement by Mr. Patrick doesn't end the need for him to disclose fully the specifics of his financial relationship with Ameriquest."
