A Republican consultant known for his sharp attacks on liberal causes -- and for boosting conservative careers like that of former US senator Jesse Helms -- married his longtime male partner late last year at their home in Ipswich.

Arthur J. Finkelstein, 59, has advised Governor Mitt Romney, who opposes gay marriage, and Governor George S. Pataki of New York, who said gay marriages performed in Massachusetts would not be recognized in his state. Finkelstein played a key role in Helms's come-from-behind victory in 1990, a campaign denounced for using homophobia to win votes.

Helms, who represented North Carolina in the Senate for 30 years, has rejected gay rights and has called homosexual behavior ''disgusting."

Apparently, you now spell hypocrite F-i-n-k-e-l-s-t-e-i-n.

He should go on the attack against his own party before going after one of ours.
