At the annual Values Voters Summit sponsored by religious and family values organizations, not even those events closed off to the press, such as Bill O’Reilly’s Media Courage Award ceremony, can escape the ridicule of The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart. The summit, centered around the demonization of things like pre-marital sex, homosexuality and pornography–which may as well all be the same thing to these crowds–had some choice sound-bites this year, as Stewart generously shows. Lest one think the event is not of note to less radical conservative voters, Stewart points out one of the benefits: the summit never fails to spotlight the figure who will come in third place in the next Republican primaries (Congrats, Mike Huckabee!).
