Gay Republican Conservative Consultant is Brains Behind Anti-Hillary Campaign


Finkelstein (R) in the headlines twice in four days

I see that a certain Mr.Arthur Finkelstein has been in the news a couple of times in the last few days.

Over the weekend, it was announced that this
Republican operative was married to the man of his dreams. Yes, you read that correctly. Mr. Finkelstein is gay. Wonder how his conservative employers are going to like that?

He has been behind several campaigns to elect conservatives, usually painting any opponents as liberal demons.

David E notes in his Fablog that the lovely ceremony was attended by such luminaries as New York Governor George Pataki and former Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato of New York. Both of these men are apparently former clients of Finkelstein.

But
today's news is that Mr. Finky is the "man behind the curtain" in the campaign to stop Hillary Clinton's re-election to her current post as Senator from the Empire State.

This isn't really news. It was reported as far back as
last February.

I guess it is his recent marriage that makes Mr. Finkelstein such a bright and shining star that he is due full credit for all his attempts at unseating Clinton. I seriously doubt he will be successful in
his efforts.
