Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, just delivered a blow to the already teetering kinship of the religious right and the Republican Party. This blow is aimed squarely at the wallet. In an e-newsletter, . . . Perkins urges his members to stop donating to the Republican National Committee, the fundraising arm of the GOP. \u201cI\u2019ve hinted at this before,\u201d Perkins writes, \u201cbut now I am saying it: Don\u2019t give money to the RNC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, in case you were wondering, that is the same pure-of-heart, unconflicted Tony Perkins who, when presented with the opportunity to unseat the personification of sexual deviancy, chose not to wage a potential Senate race against the prostitute-paying incumbent,\u00a0Diaper Dave Vitter<\/a> (R-Huggies):<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“I am grateful for those who’ve encouraged me to consider returning to elected office, but this is not the right time,” wrote Perkins in a letter to state party chairman Roger Villere. “Along those lines, I would like members of the State Central Committee to know that I support Senator David Vitter’s bid for reelection<\/strong> in 2010.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But the poutrage doesn’t stop there. The High Priestess of the Quittites<\/a>, bedecked in black leather, nipple zippers<\/a>,\u00a0and stiletto heels, strode forth from her temple and held aloft her left hand, upon which was written, “I SHALL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BONDAGE-THEMED PARTIES!” (unless you pay the $100,000 speaking fee, of course):<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Palin\u2019s staff has twice told the RNC to remove her name from an invitation sent to donors,\u00a0obtained by POLITICO on Wednesday, showing her as an \u201cinvited\u201d speaker at the four-day fundraiser in New Orleans, timed to coincide with the SRLC event in Louisiana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

Palin, who will appear at the SRLC, \u201cwill not take part in any RNC fundraiser in New Orleans,\u201d an aide said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She then withdrew to provide counsel to her daughter on the art of tying up loose ends after hosting spontaneous social gatherings<\/a> in vacant homes for sale. I do love it so when some of the loudest Republican voices complaining about adhering to rigid codes of morality are the ones that are the most ethically challenged. Does anyone really wonder why the hard-core family values types love authority? After all, it’s only one step removed from ball gags, nipple clamps and dog collars.<\/p>\n
