G.O.P. Consultant Weds His Male Partner

Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.

Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples.

If conservatives gave a rat's patootie about the Constitution, which they clearly don't, there would be a groundswell in support of the following amendment:

"Congress shall pass no law abridging the right of all persons to be complete and utter hypocrites."
