Mike Huckabee is always an easy target for The Daily Show, but this time the satirical news program may have topped itself (with delicious bacon).

On Monday night's show, Jon Stewart lampooned the former Arkansas governor, whose recent publicity tour for his new book, God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy saw Huckabee criticizing everything from swearing, to drinking alcohol, to same-sex marriage.
