On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart mocked the aspiring GOP presidential candidates -- a.k.a. the Fox News Correspondent Auditions -- who showed up at the Iowa Freedom Summit. From Sen. Ted Cruz's forced folkiness to Fmr. Gov. Mike Huckabee's perplexing demand that Americans engange in more "pig killing," the Summit's speakers gave Stewart more than enough comedy fodder. And then Rick Perry came on. And then Donald Trump.

"How can it get less electable than that?" Stewart wondered. 

Cue Sarah Palin. Watch Stewart skewer Palin's insane speech below.
