Question:\u00c2\u00a0 What’s animating Doc Hastings these days?\u00c2\u00a0 Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 He stood next to Newt Gingrich at a press conference recently in support of the policy of “Drill Baby Drill”.\u00c2\u00a0 Mildly noted, Gingrich was asked about his presidential prospects.\u00c2\u00a0 It must have been nice to meet up with Gingrich, “Class of ’94” and all that. But what’s really animating Doc Hastings is the desire to slaughter all the horses.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Okay, that’s an unfair characterization of a land management issue.\u00c2\u00a0 Except that we get to his Also notable, his facebook page has a typographical error.\u00c2\u00a0 Doc Hastings is speaking out against “wefare for wild horses.”<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 (I will go ahead and give Hastings credit for coining “wefare for wild horses.”)<\/p>\n It is notable to show a Sarah Palin-esque criticism comes into play here.\u00c2\u00a0 “Hollywood Starlets” coming for “anti-hunting, anti-Second Amendment circuses from Hollywood”– a reference to an Ashley Judd commercial against Sarah Palin’s aerial killing of wolves<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The Barbi Twins and Willie Nelson’s daughter have come out swinging<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question:\u00c2\u00a0 What’s animating Doc Hastings these days?\u00c2\u00a0 Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 He stood next to Newt Gingrich at a press conference recently in support of the policy of “Drill Baby Drill”.\u00c2\u00a0 Mildly noted, Gingrich was asked about his presidential prospects.\u00c2\u00a0 It must have been nice to meet up with Gingrich, “Class of ’94” and all that.
