Joan Vennochi writes that Tom Reilly's rejection of Chris Gabrieli as a running mate because he wouldn't release his tax returns and his selection of Marie St. Fleur, who was a tax deadbeat, just doesn't make sense.

Where have I read that assertion before? Oh, yeah, yesterday on Blue Mass. Group.

What is interesting in Vennochi's column is that this is the second time somebody has fed her potentially embarrassing e-mail about Reilly. Somebody seems to have soured on him.

The Outraged Liberal wonders why a columnist is breaking news, not the Globe State House bureau (hmm, for that matter, one might ask why Blue Mass. Group is breaking news, not the Globe State House bureau).
