After his success energizing Republican voters with his attack on contraception, presidential candidate Rick Santorum has reached even deeper into traditional Catholic sexual edicts to add prima nocta, also known as droit du seigneur, the right of nobles to sexual relations with brides on their wedding nights, to his women's issue platform.

To underline his embrace of this tradition, Santorum announced it during a campaign even at Dark AJ's Medieval Dinner Park in Hannibal, Missouri, going as far as to dress in Middle Ages attire himself.

"You know our critics on the loony left often say they can't see how the Christian wing of the Republican Party can co-exist with the free market wing, as if there was some conflict of values between the two," Santorum began.

"But in the ancient tradition of prima nocta, these two wings become one beautiful bird, perfectly illustrating God's hierarchy for all living things, and the economic superior embodying God's love as he fills the inferior."

3. Droit du seigneur.

Features prominently in The Marriage of Figaro. Figaro and Susanna are getting married, but their boss, Count Almaviva, wants to deflower Susanna.

Basically, the Marriage of Figaro is the original bedroom farce. People meeting people at midnight wearing borrowed clothes, jumping out windows, hiding in closets (cherubino), tossing flowerpots on peoples' heads, etc.
